A look at the Army Corp gauges this morning show our reservoirs on the rise and likely to keep going higher. The Wabash R. reservoirs in the NE corner of the state caught the brunt of the early June rainfall, and their levels are anywhere from 20 to nearly 50 feet above summer pool. Lately, the southern and central parts of the state have been catching major amounts of rain, and that has lakes on the rise. Central Indiana lakes like Raccoon and Cataract are likely to go much higher after receiving nearly 3" of rain just last night and this morning. With all the flooding statewide, you'll notice that most lakes aren't releasing water, meaning the water levels are likely to stay high through at least the early part of the summer. Plan your fishing accordingly.
This is why Indiana needs a 60,000 acre reservoir.
