Everything's pretty much open now. I would say season is officially underway in Illinois!! WOOHOO!!

I know of a few good spots on the Fox, and I've been wanting to cruise upstream from the Yorkville dam for a couple years now. There looks like some nice spots that way, and the river's wide and deep there, so the current isn't as fast. Perfect for a small boat or canoe. Jason, I'll be sending you a PM everytime we go out to see if you want to meet up. Us northern guys have to stick together you know.
