Had the pleasure to fish Somonauk Creek with Ken and his daughter Nina. Fishing was very slow with just a couple fish caught between all of us, a white bass, a couple smallies, and Ken had on a larger fish that came unbuttoned which might have been a drum. The water was a good level but was murky which probably had something to do with the lack of success. All in all i had a good time and the weather was beautiful
Ken and Nina had to leave around 11:30 so he offered to show me a spot on Big Rock to fish. The water condition was much better there with good visibility. I only ended up fishing for about 45 minutes but i wish i had some more time. I really enjoyed that stretch on the Big Rock, some beautiful areas with some even fishier looking spots. I came away with 2 smallies and a largemouth. Nothing of size but it doesnt matter. Here a couple pics.
You can never fish the same river twice, by the time you get back it's not the same river.
