The Mad was hovering around 11.5 feet on Thursday, and remains high and muddy. Rain forecasted for the weekend will keep the river off color and jumping between 11 and 12 feet. It’s predicted to drop Sunday through Tuesday, but more rain is in the forecast by mid-week. The river fishes best between 7 and 8 feet and it will take at least a week of dry weather to get there.
