From the Wisconsin border to the Illinois River, some of the best and easily accessible fishing in the Chicago area.

Well, you know where we'll be on Saturday morning.

I've got to go do some steelhead/salmon fall run stuff this year. Been too long.

I have texting blocked in and out on my phone. I'm 53, I have reading glasses, why would I want to stop and read an object I'm supposed to be talking into. I don't need my glasses for that. :D :D

I'll PM my number.

Depth is ankle to 3 feet. Maybe a spot or two that might go to 4.

Whatever you've been using on the Dupe should work fine on the Fox. Remember clarity on the Fox is nothing like the Dupe, so slightly larger things may be better. I've used clousers and fished them like jigs and twisters and have done all right.

Hope you can make it.

The rain did virtually nothing to the water level. Went from 580 to 680 and is already heading back down.

Time to head out.

Hopefully it didn't turn to mud.
