Bart Durham Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Mark Lutz has mapped out a nice stretch of the Fox River for this float that will take us through some prime smallmouth water. More details to follow but area will be between Aurora and Oswego. Will plan to meet for breakfast near put in and then set up shuttle.

Bart Durham Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 So as not to conflict with the rescheduled Kish float we will push this float trip back one week to May 13th. We should still be outside the spawning season, especially on the Fox. After this float we will concentrate our efforts on Lake fishing until mid June to give River smallmouth a rest during spawning season. Hopefully we can schedule a lake outing in late May early June.

Mark Lutz Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'll check the water levels next Thursday the 11th to make a determination. So far, I'm not overly optimistic it will be down and cleared up enough. Stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lutz Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 The Fox is 4200 cfs this morning. While coming down, I feel it will not be down enough for a safe yak trip for this Saturday. Sadly I'm pulling the plug for the float. I'll look at the calendar again and come up with plan C Have an enjoyable weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarroll Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Another weekend of Lake fishing! Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe R Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 I think I've done 4 floats in last 2 weeks in northern Kane. It's a chore fishing with the current and working shoreline structure. Today I was out 6 hours on a nice Saturday and I'm still yet to see anyone in a paddle vessel besides me. I did pull a paddle out of some trees in South elgin last week and up near dundee today I spotted a yellow pdf snagged in trees in the water so yes caution is in order.
