DuPage Saturday

That's what this one is about. If you're planning on fishing and want company, put that here. If the fish talk you have to say doesn't fit anywhere else, that can go here too.

DuPage Saturday

Post by Ken G »

I know, the image is small, but you should be able to figure it out.

On this first one, that is Route 53 to the east, Boughton Road to the south and the name of the street in that subdivision on the north side of Boughton is Delaware Circle. In the northwest section is where I'll be parking. Off to the west is the trout farm. Should be easy to wade down to it in 3 or so hours. Getting back to the car will be easy. Nice paved path.

Image

This one will give you better detail of Delaware Circle. There is no parking lot, but there are no signs on the street saying you can't park there. So that's where I'll park. There is a sign saying the area is Bolingbrook Parks property and basically telling you to behave yourself, so I'm assuming others park here too.

I should be there around 2, give or take a half hour. The East Branch of the DuPage is right there so I'll hang out fishing for a bit, but then I'm heading down stream. If more than a couple show up maybe a few can go upstream. We can then compare notes when were done. Beats crowding each other out. Like I said, this is all exploration so the more we explore the more we'll know for next time. If their is one.

Hope to see some of you out there.

Easy enough. I'll shoot for 2pm then. Not sure what I'm going to be throwing yet. I love the thrill of working a fly rod, but I'll land more fish throwing spinning gear. I'll end up bringing both I'm sure.

Ice fishing barbarian. :lol:

What you describe is what I use on the creeks and small waters. Panfish Assasins. 2 inch curly tails. I'm almost out of them and Walmart decided to only carry the dumb ass ones with the stubby tail. Useless. I'll have to start ordering them on-line. Pearl and the half and half gray pearl. Fish magnets.

John.
I'm going back and forth on fly or spinning. Like you, maybe both.
See you then.
