The boat launch at Boca is still closed, and launching from shore is not recommended due to muddy conditions and the risk of getting stuck. Shore fishing has been fair, with most success coming from anglers using PowerBait or worms.

As water levels continue to rise and clarity improves, fishing conditions are expected to get significantly better in the coming weeks.
