Iv contemplated wading as well there is still quite a lot of weeds

As of last weekend the Espyville ramp was still usable (Pulled my pontoon out there), and from what I have been told, if Espyville is usable, Orchard should be too.

Last Sunday 10/9 I barely got my 20' pontoon boat out of the Espyville launch. My son used the winch while I ran the motor to get it on the trailer. I was hoping to get out for the Fall bite but probably just get it winterized and wait for next year.

No problem getting my 17 ft in and out of Jamestown launch Wednesday. Took home eight big crappies. Caught and released twenty combined crappie, perch, and gills.

VKT , good to hear there are still Walleye in the river. Use to be my # 1 go to spot years ago for Walleye then it kind of went bad to real bad .

Thanks for the update on launch conditions fellas. Was planning a trip however my wife's car broke down. Hard to leave her without wheels. Next week hopefully.

Ummm did you find lots of weeds old dog?I should of probably went up tonight

Copy that, with this rain should really bring it down more. New waders came so.... tomorrow evening maby I'll try my luck north wind next few days should have it nice and choppy and hopefully bring me more ducks!!! Really need to try this week and next cuz come the 31st treestand all day everyday

Pymy was calm as glass last evening , nice Fall weather so far. Did land one 18" Chanel Cat on a jig, no Walleye. Weeds are still up but look brown, maybe going to sleep slowly like the trees. 

If I go up tonight I'll post my findings I'll be going northern part or up by where I ran into you captain
