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

Cory sent me the link, but I think the phrase is "dropping like a rock" - http://waterdata.usgs.gov/il/nwis/uv?cb ... o=05551540

If you would bother looking at the links on my site, you would find the info in a 30 day graph. Gives a better perspective I think.

It's not dropping that fast. But the air temperatures sure did. I don't bother taking river readings anymore. If I find my thermo meter, maybe I'll do that next time.

Hunting is sure starting to look like a good option for the weekend. I could use a fisherman to wander down stream at about 4 PM. I'll show you where. :D

We need some rain and bad. My pond, if it freezes up in its current state, will be screwed. Lets all get out there and get jiggy with some rain dancin', ok?

I won't shoot you. You stand a good chance of catching some fish if you listen to me and go the way I tell you.

We'll talk.

Saturday I am tied up at Pheasant Run celebrating the 235th Birthday of my beloved Marine Corps, and Sunday I am fishing with Capt. Steiger.

Monday...... Instead of a map you should just meet me there around 1pm.

I would help you Ken, but would rather be in the blind with you. I have deks, calls and time. Or I could fish my way up to you, but would rather make bang noises.

Not sure about Monday, but I will be doing some bird scouting the next few days. Access can be a little more difficult around here and I want to make sure I don't get arrested for wandering around with a gun.

The blind at Orchard Road is not a problem. It's a matter of the best way to get to some of the others.

1 PM start hunh. You really don't work do you.

I have to be home early so I took a halfer. "Waiting till night to fish for walleyes is a waste of time" - I heard that from someone once.....
