John Loebach Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Our annual water willow planting with the Friends of the Fox is in Montgomery again this year. We will meet to plant the EAST side north of the Mill street (Montgomery Road) bridge. Parking available in Austin Park off Broadway. Start at 8 am, lunch after we will grill. Originally planned for 6/26 DUE TO HIGH WATER IT IS DELAYED TO 7/17. Questions pm me or call630/251-5904. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Once again - this time we'll aim for 7/17. It could rain less any time now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bterrill Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 ISA does a great job with their water willow plantings. An idea I'd like to steal at some point for Indiana. How have past plantings taken root? Is there any progress monitoring, Mike? Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I included a photo of existing plants near the beginning of the video posted here: http://illinoissmallmouthalliance.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6268 As you can see, they are doing quite well. Monitoring hasn't been rescheduled yet. I'm currently not working due to a labor strike, so all my energies are focused on feeding the family right now and little else.

jim bielecki Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Two days out & the Fox is down to 950cfs which is perfect level. It should go great come out, many hands mke light work. Wish I could make it, but I'll be in Michigan. Every year I miss this. I wish it could be split into two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 It's amazing how much the Fox has dropped in just the past 4 days from around 2000cfs where it's been hovering in recent months to below 1000cfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
