Mississippi River Pool 16


Tailwater stage at Lock and Dam 15 in the Quad-Cities 7.39 feet and has risen slightly the past few days. Flood stage is 15 feet. Channel catfish - Good: Use nightcrawlers, stink bait or chicken livers above brush piles in the sloughs of the Andalusia Islands. Also try around the mouth of Sunset Marina in Rock Island. Largemouth bass - Fair: Try fishing with plastics around brush piles and logs in the Andalusia Island complex. White crappie - Fair: Use minnows or plastics around brush piles in the Andalusia Island complex. Also try in the Andalusia Harbor. Walleye - No report: Look for walleyes on the wing dams. Cast crankbaits or troll three-way rigs with nightcrawlers.
