Water level and current on the rise on the Rock River

With warm spring rain in the forecast for today, I thought I'd pop over and check the gauges.  It is very noticeable downstream from the Jefferson dam, but closer to the dam, conditions are still in the "very early stage".

Very soon my friends. If you're heading out, take a moment and check the new parking regulations at Blackhawk Island and remember the river now has an 18" minimum size limit, with a 3 fish per day limit.
