The point at near flood stage (3/10)

This is our favorite place to fish. It is called “The Point”. This picture was taken about a week after the river level dropped below flood stage. The spot where we actually fish isn’t shown in this image, but it is still completely under water. The water level is about six feet below flood stage.

Notice how close the water is to the tree line on the opposite shore. Those trees are above flood stage by several feet, so the water level is obviously still very close to flood stage. To the right of the image, there is usually a gravel and sand spit that juts out into the river from a large island. The spit is totally under water.
