Pool #9?

I have some friends coming up in two weeks and they are wondering how the fishing has been around Pool #9? They are also wondering if there is much grass or debris flowing downriver again like it has in the past. I know I noticed some on Pool 5A last weekend.

I don’t get down that way myself very much so any help would be great.

We have been catching saugers in the back channels in about 16 to 20 foot of water. A couple of days ago I got a 24inch walleye on the first drift which I released. Thought we might really get into to some but that was the only one. Caught some small ones only .
Been using hair jigs and minnows. I haven’t had any problem with grass but there are a lot of leaves. leaves.

Sal,

Thanks for the reply. I will pass this info along and try to get a report from the guys coming up next weekend to post back here.

Good luck.

I was out Friday. And the grass has just started coming.
Went to PDC on Sat. On upper side of the locks it looked like an Island with the floating grass. And from there on there BIG patches floating.

Anyone been out lately?? Fish, grass, leaves, anything positive to report ??

Was out last Monday. It was pretty slow that day for us. We were around the Blackhawk Park area. We ended up with 4 sauger. Only caught 1 small walleye. There was some grass but it didn’t bother to much. From what I hear the bite is better early and late. Good Luck
