How's the river

[harvey lee]

I was gone for a week and was wondering how the water depths are around the different areas from Jordan to Mankato. Thanks for the help as I dont want ot run into any very shallow areas.

Very low around Kato.

5.85 feet at Jordan and still dropping. We don't usually see this low of water till late September. Unless we get some serious rain soon, we could end up with some summer kill in some areas. Take it slow and easy is the best advice.
