Jonn Graham Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 As of right now, the Green River trip is still a go. As long as we don't get dumped on before now and then, we should be ok. Forecast for Sat. is a little warmer than what we have been experiencing. I think starting very early in the morning is not what we want to do. Give the water temp. a few hours to start moving up. I want to meet at 9:00. We will meet at the Holiday Inn parking lot in Annawan, IL. Annawan sits right on I-80. The Holiday Inn is right there next to the exit. If you know you are coming, please respond to this thread. A small boat is best to fish this river, but wading is an option as well. Any type of boat will work as long as you can lift it up and down the bank. cya there. Quote
Dave Jones Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Jonn, I am interested in joining your group on Saturday. Trying to round up a few other Western Region members as well. I will plan to bring my canoe. Looking forward to learning more about the Green River. Let's hope the weather cooperates. Thanks, Dave Jones Quote
rprice Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 John, I'm fighting a cold/flu right now, but I expect to be feeling better by Saturday and hope to join you and Dave. If I don't post a regret by Friday, you can expect to see me there. Ron Price Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 I hope the projected rain between now and Saturday holds off. I will have my dad keep a close eye on the river. Quote
Tim S. Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Jonn, I can't make this one. Have bigger plans on a camping trip. I was leaving for Wisconsin this afternoon, but canceled because of crappy weather. Hope Indian summer comes soon. Tim Quote
Joe Assise Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I am interested in attending the Green River outing and will be fishing out of my kayak. John are you sure about the Holiday Inn at Annawan, I did not see a listing for that hotel at that location... Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 Yah, I think it is a Holiday Inn Express. Of course, I could be wrong. I know there is a hotel rigt on the interstate right at the Annawan exit. Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 Weather looks a little chilly for Saturday. Still planning on going as long as the river stays stable. I would like to get a final count of how many guys are coming for sure. Please respond below. Quote
Dave Jones Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Jonn, I am still planning to come Saturday. I wish the temps were more couraging. Hoping the Green stays stable. See you Sat. morning. Dave J Quote

Dave J Unfortunately- the older I get the more days it seems to get over thiese blasted colds. I'm at my worst today (Friday). To top it off, we have some machine problems at work and Saturday seems to be the nly day I can have isolated time to rip into it. I wish you guys greast success, but I'll have to connect on the next chance instead. Regrets- Ron Price Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 Dave: I was planning on bringing my solo canoe. But, if you don't have a partner, I could bring my tandem canoe and you and I could go together. Let me know. Sorry you cannot make it Ron. We will catch a couple for you. Quote
Dave Jones Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Jonn, Ron P was going to be my canoe partner. Therefore I will take you up on your offer to share a tandem canoe with you. Let me know you read my response so I know not to bring my canoe. See you tomorrow. Thanks, Dave J Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 I will bring my tandem canoe and you and I will slay some smallies. Quote
Joe Assise Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 John I will be there, see you at 9:00. Cell# 630 287 0146 Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Posted October 16, 2009 Joe: Look forward to meeting you. Dave: Make sure to bring waders as well. I plan to get out of the boat some and do some wade fishing. Quote
Dave Jones Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Jonn, I will bring my waders, I was planning to wade as well. My cell # is 563 299 2759. See you at 9:00. Dave Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 Horrible. Three anglers fishing many, many miles of river and only two smallies under 12 inches to show for our efforts. My forgettable 2009 continues Quote
Mike Clifford Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Don't sweat it, Jonn. You didn't float all 26,000 miles of rivers and streams in our Prairie State. Chalk it up as water eliminated for the conditions present on that particular day and divide by those that tore them up in that same stretch the day before. Multiply by where you intend to fish tomorrow. So many miles yet to be discovered.... Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 Mike: I am not sure your post makes me feel any better. Sounds good, but I don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling. Quote
Mike Clifford Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Hey, I fished a section of river yesterday that I already knew held no hope from my previous ten attempts, and did it again anyway. One of these days they have to bite..... And I think you're more upset by the fact we lost to Dallas 2-1. Quote
Jonn Graham Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Posted October 20, 2009 Yah, the Dallas lost was tough to take. Hate to lose at home. Quote
