Hi RG,

I have a friend who lives on the river in W. Dundee just south of Rt.72 the
water is about 3ft at the deepest channel. The rest of the water is too
skinny to put a boat in. He likes to fish for snappers. Has a ton of shells
from the ones he's caught over the years. His largest shell is 23 inches
front to back. I never had turtle - hope I never will. But he likes it.

I'm in crowded Crystal Lake.

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
