Location: Chicago IL. | It was only nasty for you bass guys. Weather was not bad with 3/4 of the river out of the wind and the sun out all day. With the wind the strech in front of barto was a little dicey but the rest was ok. It is nice when you have the whole IL river to yourself. Thats a RARE pleasure. Water was dropping fast for sure!!!!! |

Location: Chicago IL. | The river is all over the place. has not been stable since last spring. It is also clear as far as the IL goes. Current?,It is a slow moveing lake most of the time. If we get some rain it comes up ok but those days are few and far between. Now its dropping fast again.
