6/25/10 Fox River

Complete waste of time to be out there. At least where I went. Maybe urban areas like St. Charles or Geneva will fare better. Maybe I was just in the wrong place.
I'll be doing pretty much anything but fishing for the next few days.
Sent an update report Dale wanted that he'll post later today. Rivers and creeks are wasted damn near everywhere.
BUT, this is how I ended it.
Then there's the Apple River. That area seems to have been spared what we went through over the last couple of days. This is the link to the Apple River real-time stream gauge.

If someone wakes up before dawn on Sunday and checks the gauge, and if the gauge for cubic feet per second says 350 or less (which it will if the rains keep missing that area) then if that someone has the money to burn the gas to get there, if I were that someone I would give it serious consideration. It was June on the Apple River a few years ago where I had my first 100 smallie day.
