Really a rush on a home tied fly. Congrats!

Thanks for posting.

Ed

I plan to attend

Very cool! Helping the fisherman present & future as well as the future fish.

Joe, it is a fast action rod but the tip is softer than most. It has a lot of guts in the butt end. Dayton dam is definitely protecting the upper reaches of river from this mess. I have even seen Asian silver carp way up the small creeks I have been fishing. My buddy the other day was all excited about the size of the fish he was casting to in the creek until I pointed out that it was an Asian silver carp.

 

The Vermilion has Asian Carp all the way up to the Streator dam. They have not been stopped by the low head dam at the cement mill, the wildcats, or any other barrier other than the big dam at Streator. Sadly it is by far the most dominant species in many parts of parts of the river. They seem to swarm upstream each time the water rises.

Thank the army core of engineers got the Dayton dam. Sorry that is the 1i would like to see STAY for ETERNITY!

Sad they have covered so many streams.

Rest in peace Bob Rung. You will be missed!

The

When you say lower Fox, you mean below Dayton dam? Right?

Glad your catching. ...... Sorry that is the most abundant fish.

Learn how to tie a down & dirty. Sits lower in the water. Lasted 4 or 5

greenies at shabbona. Tied a couple others with 4 rubber legs tied together

as the tail.

While the rivers are coming down throw tight to the shore. Standing up river

From a down tree, just floating it upstream from a large branch.

Enough talking for me. I gonna fish the dam for a bit.

Throw it. Cast it. It will catch. FISH IT!

hot damn I figured it out

Thanks Kevin, I honestly didn't know that you could do that

That is how I do it also Ed. I do not have a computer any longer, use the phone exclusively.

You can also send the pictures to yours or others email addresses.

Sorry wasn't able to help with round 2.

I plan to be there Ed.

Anybody else?

Plan to be there.

3 shimano citica's. Oldest -20 yrs rebuilt by corens once. Newest 5 yrs. Great reels.

4 Abu Garcia 5000's. oldest 35 yrs rebuilt twice. Newest 10 yrs. Great for throwing 1 ounce spoons

or trolling with 5 ounce weight on the Illinois river.

Most $100.00 reels will last 5 years or better depending on use.

Really interested in New Lews speed reel and the tatula.

Weather was perfect this weekend for a dupe float.

Very cool T Good Man! Returning a wallet. !

Haha.

Get em Terry!

Zebra Mussel? l

Yes John is a zebra mussel. Couple others fell off the wire as i pulled it out of

the water.

I wondered how long it would take.

Bummer... maybe that's why the Fox has been so clear.

 

I believe they are also in one of the lakes that borders the west branch of dupe...

Kevin. They are in both deep quarry & bass lake. That is where the dam breach flowed into the dupage river.

SO..... as we continue to wade our streams this season Who is gonna Wash

their Waders after every outing?

Does it matter now?

Sorry to hear of your father's passing. My prayers are with you and your family.

Snagged a wire while high water fishing from shore. Couple fell off

as i tried to shake the wire from the beetle spin.

Looks real fishy Tom. Waiting for the report and pictures.
