Terry Dodge Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Headed out to the stream after the Wimbledon Ladies' got done with their tennis match and I pretty much received the same butt whooping that Sharapova did. I failed. Thing is I kind of expected it. I never go out at this time of day during the summer but I had nothing better to do. I went back and revisited the Winnebago County Forest Preserve stream-barbs (These are NOT the Boone County/ISA stream-barbs) for the first time this year. You might remember the pictures posted last year. You might also remember a few of you said that these barbs would probably not hold up........ Well for those of you who said this, I am here to tell you that you were correct! They failed and are failing....... (same barb) This barb is the worst of the four but believe me they are all crumbling. It was not that great of a day and the only real high point I had (besides the temp that is) was running across Jude on the way back to my Bass-Van....... Quote

Chuck Burns Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I have been trying to find spots on the Kish to fish. Where are you guys hitting. I know of one spot and have had some luck. But nothing sounds as good as what I read here, or looks as good as the photos above. I'd appreciate some guidance. Quote
