Anyone have experience with this? I really want to salvage this trip, but if the fish will be turned completely off or the rivers simply unwadable/dangerous we might as well head back up to dusty dry Duluth.
Stay home. 12 plus inches in Ho.Co. and more on the way. There's no telling what the streams will look like, let alone fish like once the rain decides to stop and floodwater eventually go away. I'd say it will be a few weeks in most places. There'a also no telling what kind of fish kills we're looking at considering the potential amount of high levels agricultural and human run off entering the water.

Don't be so certain that everything is blown up and blown out.

This situation will definitely require people who really want to fish to do some driving round and looking for yourself. Personally, I know too many people directly affected by this and haven't brought myself to want to go fishing yet. Fishing is really the least of my concerns at this point.
It's amazing what trout can do to survive major flooding in a short amount of time. Great job and getting out and catching some fish and making the best out of some of the bad river conditons you fellas have had down there. The trout up here are having trouble of their own which is very low and warm waters.
