This was going to be much longer, but I'm just out of time lately.

When the Fox River is flowing at 5500 cubic feet per second when normal is around 750 cfs . . .
When 5500 cfs translates to the river flowing at about 4 feet above normal . . .
You have no choice but to use high, fast and muddy fishing techniques, in this case along the east shore of the river for over a half mile in Geneva.
If you go out for a little over two and half hours and land 4 smallmouth bass, a crappie and a channel catfish . . . taking the conditions into consideration, is that a good day fishing or bad?
When you get to hook and see 8 more smallies before they spit the lure back in your face . . .
When you get a good dozen more hits that you never even get to set the hook on . . .
Does that make it a better day of fishing or did it really suck?
I don't know, kept me trying for two and a half hours though.
