Bart Durham Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 A pleasant surprise, seeing clean tributaries like these dumping into the DesPlaines river help to explain why the smallmouth is making a big comeback in the DesPlaines River!

Bart Durham Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 That too as well as dam removal. Now if we could do the same on the Fox, can you imagine what kind of fishery it could become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
