What is the fees? What's biting right now down there?

Last year I believe I paid like 12-15 for the day. Depending on water temps, you can catch eyes, sauger, northern and a few catfish.

Its a very easy fun way to go fishing for the day. In the past, they ghave also offered food on the float.

Because of the heavy flow, most people fish with large river weights sitting on bottom, sonars can be rip jigged, casting raps (if the float isnt loaded with people to get tangled with), large hair jigs etc.... Bobbers arent really an option..
