Re: Mazon River

It was my third trip there and the water had cleared finally. Still a bit murky and at times hard to see whe...

2" Visibility again

Here's the story. My good guide friend Austin Adduci needed another drift boat to be a camera boat for two girls trying to make content for a site called...Tight Loop.

Re: My name is John Trayser...St Charles

Yesterday I was at Whitetie bridge...last week was further back towards the Illinois river. KKK was 2 inches visibility...all from huge Indiana rains that had the KKK at 26,000 cfs! Today it was down 1100 cfs from Wednesday.

Lots of crap had blown into the river making it hard to get a good shot in many places. Just love the clear water. I need to send you a message about...
