Frank Report post Posted April 6, 2018 Is this going to be a float or wade outing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Trybul Report post Posted April 6, 2018 I plan to have it a float trip. River levels can be tough to wade in the spring. Who's in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted April 6, 2018 I plan on making it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Dodge Report post Posted April 6, 2018 I would like to take part in this but this weather we have been having lately has got me a bit scared to commit to anything right now. I'm a little girl when it comes to cold weather. But I'm still a Marine!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Trybul Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Currently all branches of the Kishwaukee are in great shape. We survived the rain that came through last night but more is on the way tonight. The rest of the week looks pretty dry so unless the river does up 2-3 feet, we should be good. Extended forecast looks like mid 50's. Light waders will be helpful to stay dry while paddling and getting out in spots to wade. The cool temps will make it comfortable to stay in waders for several hours. I would like to get a head count of who is coming by Thursday. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted April 14, 2018 Paul I plan on being there and Norm Perkins may also join use. Not positive on Norm but possibly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Dodge Report post Posted April 16, 2018 Not too sure. Kind of looks to be a little cool and I don't believe I have ever seen any evidence of northern Illinois smallies being caught during cold/cool weather. You might be able to squeak out one or two, but anymore than that is near impossible and if anyone claims to have caught anymore than that, well then......... It's just a flat out lie. Sorry, this is all I have to do with my life at the moment. I won't do breakfast but I might surprise you and float Baumann to Kish F.P. We'll see.

Frank Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Jude it was in the May issue of the news letter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Trybul Report post Posted April 17, 2018 It is also in the calendar as well. Below is copy& pasted from our ISA calendar: This will be the NW region's first outing of the year. We will meet at the Cherry Valley Café at 9AM and work out pairings and shuttle from there. The date is subject to change due to unpredictable spring water levels. Cherry Valley offers close access to the north, south and main branches of the Kishwaukee River. We can recommend trips ranging from 3 hours to all day depending on your schedule and fishing style. Call Paul Trybul if you have questions 815-540-7775. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jude Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Thanks for the help, Terry. For some reason, there are no events at all on the calendar when I pull it up. Hmmmm...conspiracy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe R Report post Posted April 17, 2018 I'm a definite solid maybe LOL. Gauges stay the same I'm better than 50/50 to make it, which is pretty good for a last minute change your mind fisherman like me which ever way the wind blows literally. Haven't fished Kish yet this year that's unusual for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart Durham Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Agree Frank, if so could be really good float conditions on Saturday, unfortunately won't be able to join for this float as wife and I have longstanding plans to be out of town this weekend. The stars could be aligned for this one, however. Best of luck to everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jude Report post Posted April 18, 2018 I am logged in. I see the calendar. The calendar that I see is blank. Every month of it is blank. You just don't want Frank and me to join you 'cause you know we'll catch all the fish. I'm on to your shenanigans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
