John Loebach Posted June 20, 2010 Report 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
John Loebach Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Posted July 3, 2010 Once again - this time we'll aim for 7/17. It could rain less any time now! Quote
Mike Clifford Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 Thanks for the update John. Let me know if you need anything. Quote
Bterrill Posted July 7, 2010 Report 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
Mike Clifford Posted July 7, 2010 Report 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. Quote
John Loebach Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Posted July 11, 2010 As of today Fox is 1400cfs & falling. It going to be good by next Saturday. See you there! Quote
Norm M Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 I've got the day off, Zach says he'e ready. Where and when? Quote

John Loebach Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report 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. Quote
jim bielecki Posted July 16, 2010 Report 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
ronk Posted July 16, 2010 Report 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
