The weather and fish are not holding very strong here at Spring Valley, IL. Steady rainfall has added to flood stage levels of the Illinois River. Water levels have risen almost 5 feet the past couple of days and the current is approaching 8mph! Logs the size of boats continue to sail on down, while the fish seem to be tight-lipped with the dirty and high water. Most anglers are having terrible practice days with very few fish being caught at all. The river is expected to rise throughout the week with rain predicted every day. Will a fish or two be good enough to make the cut? Or will somebody get into a school of active fish and walk away with this tournament? Tough to say as of Tuesday night but be assured that we will bring you the best coverage throughout the tournament. Good Luck to all the anglers.
