The 13th pic from the bottom and the fine "old-timer" is the guy with the
blackeye and abrasions. I haven't a clue who the other fellow is?

Subsurface flies provide more fishing opportunities than dry flies. Fish
are eating underwater more than they eat on top of the water.

if you come closer, let me know

Chicago isn't one of my fishing destinations. Apparently
you have heard of the Vermillion River system. That's a
lot closer to me than it is to you.

I don't know if I'd be comfortable fishing with an
international luminary such as yourself who consorts
with world champions and knows it all but if you ever
get down towards Urbana let me know and I'll be glad to
tell you where to go.

I know Illinois it's not the best for the nature, but I have a car and I
can MOVE about 100miles around Chicago :)

I went to Vermillion River 3 times and it's 'til now my favourite spot!
(meaning that I don't know so many others).
probably I'l go there the following weekend.
I also went in 2 lakes where there are lots of catfishes and striper
basses, but they are kind of artificial lakes, I don't go crazy for
them.
I prefer the natural environment and now I'm buying a belly boat..

don't worry, I still concede audience to normal people ;-)))
I met 3 world champions in surfcasting (fishing from the sea beaches)
that tought me a lot of things, nothing to do with freshwater, where I'm
absolutely an enthusiastic learner :-)
I know some spinning and I fish quite well on the bottom and with live
bait. I know well the 'english and bolognese fishing' made with italian
and english bobbers in finesse.

but I don't know anything of fly fishing, and the first person that will
teach me, I'll follow him and his hints like a baby goose follows mama
duck.

and knows it all but if you ever
get down towards Urbana let me know and I'll be glad to
tell you where to go.

how do you judge Illinois?
do you know spots not overfished close to Chicago?
