The water was up Saturday afternoon - about 5.5 feet on the Peoria gauge. Caught drum (white perch) and small stripers on minnows right in the boils.

Not gummed up The gauge is right below the dam and the jumps result from either opening or closing off the flow.
The site immediately upstream is the lake level and its quite a game to look at what is going on level wise with the lake and what
the release will be.

A buddy and I ran up yesterday afternoon. There was a pretty good crowd and the water was running fast and furious. The gage said
the water was at 4 feet. One could walk on the walkway on the west side in about 3 inches of water. We picked that side to be in the shade as the sun was fierce. The drum were thick in that rolling water and right on the rocks. We caught a bunch all within 3 feet of shore. We drifted worm pieces under a couple of split shot. Guys on the other side caught a couple of small silver bass and a few drum as well.

I went over this evening but didn't fish the dam, i fished over on the lake side from shore. Probably caught close to 40 crappie, ended up keeping 12. Using twister tails on a 1/16th oz jig head. Not too bad of a trip for the first time crappie fishing there since April. Almost every fish was a black crappie and right up on the bank chasing minnows.

Thanks for the reply fellas

Fished the Wabash yesterday just upstream from Peru. Fishing was good and though we used a canoe, we saw one guy wading the river - in midstream...
Walleye, channels and big drum made for a good trip.

I do as well

The fish you get out of the Wabash are fine to eat as far as contaminates go. Size of fish have the most to do with it. Like a lot of body's of water the fish have there own taste. What I mean is they don't taste like the fish you get from lets say Bass lake which don't taste like the fish you get from Minn lakes. I for one don't really care for the taste of Lake Erie eye's. Strip pit bluegills for me are by far better tasting than any where else I catch them. When it comes to eating fish I consider myself an expert, ha ha. I prefer the smaller size fish for eating in any species.

Sorry guys too many sewage treatment plants on major rivers for me. Just about every town or city on a major river ends up dumping it's treated water into the river. And when there's lot of rain many of them open the gates because the storm drains overwhelm the sewage treatment plants.
We can fight a war in Afghanistan for 16 years and improve their schools, but we can't get all our sewage treatment plants up to state of the art.

Probably too soon but any eyes showing up yet??
