Hate to bust in...but I had the occasion to fish the Fox near West Dundee
( I think) last year. We threw curly tails and caught a dozen or so
smallies. Nothing bigger than a pound or so, but a lot of fun. We waded on.
The river wasn't deep enough to float a very big boat where we were. In lots
of places I guess it is plenty deep, just not where I was. RichG

p.s. I spend Winters in TX, and Summers right at the border of Wisc. and IL
( Lake Geneva) RG
