Ken,

No, I was wading further upstream. The guys on the shore by the mouth of the river scare me.

I heard from a client of mine that his son had a decent day on the river last week, so I thought I would give it a try before the rains came. Without any details on where he was, I decided to go to Orchard road on Thursday afternoon and fished fairly tight to shore with a jig/twister for about an ...

There seems to be very little info on these mysterious fox creeks.

OK. After many attempts, this is the best I can do. I was fishing at Saw Wee Kee park on Saturday as the river was on the rise (just under 2,000cfs). This first fish came from the middle of a group of feeding carp in an eddy, CIMG0017 (380 x 508).jpg the next one was in a foot of water next to a ...

Thanks for the info. I will try it when I get time. I was fishing at Saw-we-kee.

Finally got out Saturday about noon for a couple of hours. With the water rising I figured work could wait. Picked up five nice fish - most near shore with one 18" beauty that I caught in about a foot of water. I took a few semi-lame pics with my phone but I haven't figured out how to download in ...

Ken,

If these are a few of the creeks that you mentioned last week, you've got my attention. Only you would venture 9 miles up a creek this time of year and produce fish. Great pics - look forward to more.

Always looking for more info. I tend to go out of Pastrick this time of year and fish in 40' - 50' beyond Gary Light. Used small jigging spoons/minnows last fall for big fish (up to 15"). Haven't been out yet this year.

I'll try to pay more attention. I would love to explore more of the creeks, definately more intimate - maybe try the fly rod again. I here the perch are picking up on Lake Michigan - hoping to get out there soon as well - any interest?

Had a moment to venture into some of the members only posts. Wow, I think this group is suffering from serious withdrawal (among other things). :? Hopefully we can all get back to fishing soon and the smallies will cooperate. Personally, I have picked up enough info from Ken, tips on this site and ...
