After the drought like winter here in the Minneapolis area I was worried it wouldn't possible to get out on my favorite section of the Apple River from Black Brook dam to high bridge this year. But 6 straight days with rain have water levels way up. I caught my 1st fish (3 lb northern) of the year yesterday out of my new Old Town pack canoe. And I was able to paddle up Wappogaset creek at least mile and would have gone further but I didn't want to be out at dark by myself. This is by Amery WI and is a really wild and scenic area with good fishing. Accessible only by canoe or kayak.
