Great information Mike, The next time I see you I will have a map and you can give me some pointers thanks.

Thanks guys for the all of the information. Looks like I have to buy a kayak now for the Dup.

Thanks for the information Tim. Sure you can go with me and I would appreciate all of the information that you would give me on the trip. It won't be until September when I go out since I am real busy with work, school, and kids. I also would like to get some extra parts. Just in case.

I just bought a 15' jon boat with a 9.9 hp outboard. I was wondering if it would be a good boat to go on the Dupe, or Kankakee with since I have never been to these two rivers. Any information would be appreciated.

Brian I fished there on July 2 and was using black and then tried a light brown color wooly with no sucess. Had to use plastics and lande 4 sm largest being 18". I might try tying a few with your color pattern and try it. If you want to hook up pm me and let me know. I fish there a lot. I also hit several creeks in McLean county.

What's your preference (Lakes or Rivers) and any thoughts on why?

Rain coming in for Saturday to John.

At last nights central Illinois meeting John was kind enough to share a couple of books about smallmouth bass and fly fishing. It got me thinking that with winter soon upon us that a few of us (not brave enough to go out in the winter to fish) might share a few of our favorite magazines or books to read in the winter. My 3 favorite magazines are: In-Fisherman Bass Masters North American Fishing club magazine. Book: Smallmouth Bass: an In-Fisherman handbook of strategies.

Looks good Jonn. Sure would like to see some of the creations that you made this year Friday night. It would be nice to see them in person.

We should have a few meetings in Central IL. and have some members get together for some fly tying sessions. I know I would like to learn.

Joined from the website.

Mike, where would the meetings take place?

Great work. Now you need to open a website and sell them online..> I would be your first customer...

Don I have only been a member since the begining of summer and have not had the pleasure to meet you. But if everything that I have read from the post are true I am sure that you will do a terrific job. Rich I also believe that you will do a great service in your new role and wish you the best of luck. I look forward to meeting both of you in the future and hope it will be on the river fishing.

Don't be discouraged and think we have to stand by and take it. I for one am going to write the Governor's office and my state represenative and senetor. If we all take a stand and do something things can change for the better. However, if we do nothing then we all get what is coming. I challenge all members to do something.
