Has anyone heard news from the recent TU project between the bridges on 25? I haven’t seen it yet but I got a report that the entire lower section was just demolished leaving sheer banks and a very wide stream.

I'm fishing the next four days straight and despite the hand I've been dealt I will enjoy it none the less. I scouted water in Winona County and most of it has moderate stain on it. Some systems will be blown if they get much more rain going into tomorrow. With that said I know of other streams that...
