I hate rain

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

I hate rain

Damn water. Fox is at 3400 and even the creeks are a little blown out. I guess I can go do some exploring. Just stay out of the water.

This time of year I start reading maps. Topo, aerial, pretty much any kind that shows me where to drive and wander.

Ed, with this rain, what do you think about fishing all of those little ponds and drainage ditches around the Fermi lab?

I would do it. But then, I don't fish ponds. I just want you guys away from the river. ;)

I wanted to make it out there today Andrew, but I had no wingman, and about the time when I would have said F-it and headed out there anyway, I got a call from the off-shift foremean at work. Had to go in and troubleshoot a fire alarm comm circuit.

All better now, and no fishing this weekend. :cry:

You didn't miss much. Even though under one of the other posts the Fishin' Musician was catching walleye.

So maybe you missed an opportunity after all. :P :P
