wjbell Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Well, it was Sunday and saw a little break in the storm and thought I'd go check out what the river looked like after the storms we've been having. I've never been down to the rivers in winter months, and I'm sure I ain't seen nothing yet, but it was pretty cool to see a lot of water flowing compared to what you see in the summer.Here's a youtube video I made showing what it looks like as of today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Very cool video thanks for putting it up.Many of the old timers I met told me to go watch therivers at high water, that it was the only way to reallyunderstand what the river was doing. Look particularly forarea's where it's cutting through bars that have been built upand things like that.Nowadays with video like this you can make a record of the areasyou are interested in and refer to them in the summer when yougo to hunt.Looks like there's more to come that's for sure.Flak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One old timer I met down at the river said to look for signs of where the river flowed. He told me one time while prospecting he looked up and in a tree about 14 feet up was a tire hanging in a tree. Nobody climbed up a tree with a tire and put it there. The river put it there.Words of wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
