| nice pics! i remember back in 1989,i arrived at spring valley week before tourney and was driving down to the landing and got as far as the boat dealership can't remember the name,but the water was over the bridge,i believe that year there was 3 0r was it 7 fish caught. i think things could change very fast,as long as there no more rain. i fished it for about 10 yrs and just loved every year,it's all about all the friends i meet over the years and the people of spring valley. |

Mark, looks like they are keeping above the water, they have the gates in the wall and pumps running. Big winds last night pushed alot of water around.
Water is over Rt. 89 as of 6 am, at 5:30 it was a trickle....by 8 am it was about 6 to 7 inches deep. Probably closed at time of post. |

Location: Spring Valley,Il. | Just heard they are closing highway 89 at noon today.Boat club is surrounded by water but the concrete walls keep water out until it goes over the top of walls in which wont happen this time.What a mess,and right before tournament time.

Location: Berlin | Hey all, I know this is scary right now. I am sure there will be more tournaments that are cancelled there. Just a reminder that Full Throttle is not until April 5th so there is plenty of time for this to go down. If for any reason the levels stay high and it is cancelled they will give you a refund or you can put it towards a future tournament so it is really risk free to sign up. This will be their first time there and I would really like to get as many teams as possible to sign up so they keep going there. Spring Valley is such an awesome place to fish and the town really does open its arm to us tournament guys. Please email me if you want more info or if you have any questions. Thanks to all those that have signed up, I personally really appreciate it.

| Thanks Rich
I would think if the condition's are as bad as last time they will probably cancel
like the other tournaments.
Looks like the water is starting to come down. So with a little luck and a big smile from Mother Nature maybe the MWC will be OK.
