Jay Yelas encountered water temperatures today in the mid-90s, which should tell you how hot it's been recently in northwest Louisiana, specifically around the Red River. Yelas, along with Luke Clausen and 44 others got started on their official practice for the Forrest Wood Cup today. Not much has changed since the river went off limits, they said. You can get bites, but the quality keepers just aren't showing up yet.
