Jim finally caught his first walleye. It was 22 inches long a very nice fish but not a great picture. I caught this huge 17 inch smallmouth bass. Its hard to find warm water which is where the fish are biting. The snow in the mountains is still melting and the melt water runs into the Missouri River. The water has been coming up over a foot or two a week. They are saying it will come up another 5 feet before the melt is over. They seem to take the changing water levels in stride here. The boat ramp is very long so it can be used as the water continues to climb.
We were looking at the webcam at Northern Lights Resort in Minnesota where we were last year. The water has risen so high there that it is up over all of their docks. We are glad not to be there facing that mess. I hear some of the resorts on Lake Kabetogama have had docks damaged from the high water. We seem to be above the rain line here at Indian Hills in North Dakota. The rain has all been pretty much south of us. Its only rained (very lightly) here about three times since mid-May.
