We'll it looks like I may have to go to plan B. Has anyone been on big creek or Red Rock this week? Trying to decide if I should pull the boat out of Saylorville and go to Red Rock for the 4th?

I wouldn't envision Red Rock being much better given how swollen the Des Moines River is and with Saylorville running wide open. But then again, I haven't exactly been there in the last couple of days.

If there's plan C... Southern Iowa has missed the bulk of the rain within the last week. Rathbun and the Chariton River aren't running near as high. Rathbun is only 4' higher than 'normal'. http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Locations/DistrictLakes/RathbunLake/DailyLakeInformation.aspx
