Ok, stupid question. Can you paddle upriver, or is the current generally too fast?

Nice pictures and better yesterday than today. I am sure I went fishing for the last time today. It was windy , it rained and when I got off it started to sleet. I caught one 15" northern and 3 others got off. I enjoyed the fall colors though. Do you every float the Wisconsin River?

Anyone interested in reading an excellent book on Old Man River with beautiful pics, get a copy of “ Around The Bend” by C.C. Lockwood.
Your local library can probably get jt for you.
Another excellent read on the mighty Mississippi is “Rising Tide” by John Barry who won a Pulitzer for the book and a well deserved one. Don’t start it on a night where you have to go to work the next day.
Your local library can probably get this one also. Both are available on Amazon.

From the Prairie du Sac dam to the Mississippi River and short trips in between.

If barges can't get up the Ole Man.....we be screwed!

If they didn't have a series of locks on the river, barges may not be feasible.

The lower Mississippi doesn’t have any locks. However dredging is required.

That looks like an enjoyable day. I'd imagine it was a bit chilly - a little island scouting?
