Location: Eastern Ontario
Our local lake is up 4 feet in 8 days. the launch ramp is now far off shore. There is no fishing off the town dock but you could catch crappies in the ball diamond. Homes along the river south of here are flooded and no end of the rain in sight Lake Ontario and SLR at multi year highs and flooding along the lower Ottawa.
What are conditions elsewhere?

Oneida County in northern WI had double the normal rain fall in April, so there is quite a bit of water but no flooding that I am aware of. The chain I live on is higher than normal but with the dam open quite a bit, water is pouring out at roughly the same rate it is flowing in.

4 feet high and rising...

Down in southern IL I have measured 12.1" of rain in thee last 8 days. There were whitecaps in the bottoms yesterday. I'm not so much worried about the fishing as all the corn I planted in the two weeks leading up to this monsoon. The fields are a mess. Erosion and flooding have been severe. Can't even walk in the fields to see if the seed is still viable or rotten...

Stupid high in southwest pa, even more stupid high in northwest pa. High fast and muddy for all streams and rivers, I still have to look into the reservoir and lake conditions though. My suspicion is they're the same as everything else.

Higher than Seth Rogan. Really put a dent in my options for fishing this weekend. Add the wind, and a big cold front with lows in the lower 30's nothing looks worthwhile except braidwood and lassale cooling lakes.

You know it's getting pretty high when they cancel the ferry service across the river. Water is up 5ft from normal levels around my place.

Last image is of Petrie "island", good thing it's a marina.

The headwater reservoirs on the Tennessee/Cumberland Rivers are still a couple of feet over full pool, and were as much as 8 feet over full. TVA, and COE have had the floodgates open for over a week, and the flows were high enough, they advised boaters and fishermen to stay off the water.. Things should be close to normal by this weekend, just in time for a cold snap. Of course that's all relatively speaking, as we were 90+ last weekend, and looking at highs in the low/mid 50s this weekend..

One of the docs at Musky tales is underwater and the other pushed off it's mooring. Challenging out there this am. Water temp dropped 8 degrees in stops since last week.

Water level is slightly lower than normal on Webster despite the rain.. I think they've got the spillways open

I'm not disputing global warming but it doesn't seem to be happening here in Hastings County, however we have already surpassed the May rainfall record and were only 5 days in.

The bible references the dimensions given to Noah, but you have to figure out what a cubit is. Back in the 1960s Bill Cosby recorded a classic bit about Noah, God and the ark.

I've been on Bull Shoals where it came up 25' in the last 10 days. This body of water swelled from around 45K acres to 65k acres. The water is super muddy, full of all sorts of timber and debris. We've been resetting the resort dock twice a day. The only thing biting are the ticks, lots and lots and lots of ticks, yech.

Can you trailer an Ark or do you need to get a seasonal slip at a marina? What trolling motor would you suggest I don't think my 80lb Ipilot will do it. I just bought a new 20hp Suzuki kicker I can switch to an Ark but I don't think the cables are long enough. I was going to forget about animals with the exception of a dog. I was thinking more along the lines of 2 blondes 2 brunettes and maybe 1 redhead

You can forget about needing a trolling motor then. 5 women will surely find enough chores for you to do for much more than 40 days and 40 nights.

Would an ark be required to comply with AIS requirements? Think about it.
