Jonn Graham Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have been off all week on spring break. What a spring break from hell!!! It won't stop raining. All of my streams are high and muddy. Been off all week and all I have to show is one small smallmouth from a trib off of the Rock River. Someone, please MAKE IT STOP RAINING!! My health is at stake!

Guest Don R Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I took a look at the USGS state map http://waterdata.usgs.gov/il/nwis/rt Looks like you'll have to take a bit of a road trip to find a normal flow. Of course there's always the Kankakee River. It's still flying high but I'm guessing that the shoreline eddies and creek mouths are starting to produce Don't give up!

Paul Trybul Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 You're not the only one. So far this year I've only caught 3 smallmouth. None over 12" and not more than 1 per trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I feel your pain. I looked at my river this morning and finally see signs of a sandbar! There's hope! (As long as we don't get any of the thunderstorms they're talking about. ) It's gotten so bad that, hard as it is to admit, I've been chasing greenies at a pond. Does that endanger my ISA membership?

skjordan Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Couldnt agree with you guys more. Except make mine "scotch & rocks" I did get my first outing on the upper Kaskaskia last Sunday, beautiful day, water was rising all day not even a nibble. I did find some good access points and if I find fish this summer I will let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
