These are reports from Everts on another site. Dean has been busy so I'm gonna post for him. I wish him the best and hope he can open soon!! You can check the River Graph (http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=mpx&gage=redm5&view=1) for updates on the levels.

Coville & Baypoint - Closed
Wi Back Channel- Closed
Baycity- parking lot under water
Everts- Useable for those who have above average river experience. I would not recommend in-experienced or solo anglers to be on the river.Parking is minimal,but will assist as much as possible.
SAFETY first everyone ! Cold water temps continue to make the bite very tough . Although relatively clear right now of debris, major backwater ice has come through mid-day the past 2 days. I have no way of being able to predict that.
This will be a great year for the fish to have a great spawn and the post spawn bite will be awesome!

Been hectic here getting the shop prepped and water ready. We do have a handfull of boats out today. As of Tues, April 12, Everts Resort shop & ramps will be closed to the general public. With the one remaining ramp completely under water, I just cannot be comfortable with it being used. This is a difficult decision at best, but is being made in the interest of safety first.
Many thanks to all who have helped us keep things going and helping to move everything to high ground! :notworthy:
