Location: Northern Illinois | This is a great tourney...great group of guys. The river should be in great shape and the fish are there. The females were still hard at the MWC tourney so the bite should be great! If you are thinking about fishing this tourney...go for it..you will not be disappointed!
Hope to see you there...I'll be running a maroon Tuffy with a silver stripe...stop and say hi!
