Terry Dodge Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 June 18, Saturday, Kishwaukee River wade We’ll kick off the wading season by meeting for breakfast at 7:30am. at the Cherry Valley Cafe, 216 E. State St, Cherry Valley, IL. After chow we’ll break into groups and wade the north and south branches of the Kishwaukee River for the mighty smallmouth bass. Contact Terry on the ISA website if you plan to attend so he can make reservations at the cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dodge Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Kick off the wading season? The year is half over! :-) The Kish has been too high to wade safely so far this year. As a matter of fact, if the levels are not down below 6.30ft. then this wade outing my turn to a float outing. Plus, I don't like to schedule wade outings during the spawn.

Ben K. Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Good call on the spawn timing... Are we speaking Strictly wading Terry? or is floating an option as well? I hope to make this but need to check the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to make this but need to check the schedule. I see no reason why floating can't be an option. If some wade and some float, it should make shuttling fairly simple. You are counted?

Ben K. Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Will be in the area for an early Fathers day family event. Might be able to swing by at some point but it's unlikely I can make the whole outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Looks like I'll have to back out. Going to "Blues on the Fox" in Aurura. Los Lobos and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Now you'll have a chance to catch a few, Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgoodmanii Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I won't be coming. My "bass thumb" is still healing from Sylvania. Terry that's when you catch so many big bass your thumb gets raw from lipping them. You probably won't have to worry about it. Have a nice day!

Terry Dodge Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 River level shot up (and still on the up-n-up) from Tuesday nights rain. Levels has surpassed what I consider to be dangerous for wading, plus with the lack of interest (0) this outing is CANCELLED. I would like to to share a date of July 30 - 31 for you all to keep in mind. Kishwaukee Paddle Fest 2016 I can post more info if there is interest. Live music, camping, and much more.
