Spawn...water temps?

[jamjumper]

With river levels finally receeding in the portion of the mn river I normally fish and the trajectory to be back to levels I am comfortable with, I am thinking of heading back to the mn river valley to try for flatheads again. With all this crappy flooding my catfish itch has not been scratched. With cool temps and lots of rain water are the river temps still below desirable spawn temps? I see a few ppl are still managing to catch fish, just wondering if we are likely in spawn or if some of that pre spawn feeding could still be going on. with fish having to move back into main channels with falling water levels I am hoping there is a chance to get a few good fights in before they shut down. Any info, ideas, thoughts, tell tale signs to look for...anything like that would be useful. Thanks!

I would GUESS that we are in the beginning stages of the Flathead spawn. They're still fish to be caught, you can't catch them on the couch!
