Thanks for the update of the Fox River Jason.
I haven't been over there yet. I'd bet its pretty high and fast right now with all of the snow they had up North that just melted.

Everybody please feel free to report on water temperature and fish activity now that the waters are soft enough to shoot into.
(early spawningbehavior, spookiness, what species are visible, and where they are hanging out)

Also, the only species reported taken in IL so far (as of 3/15) is common carp, so lets hear about the first of each of the other species taken in 2007.

What about those "really slow moving" shad you were shooting the other day Chris?

"really slow moving" shad
I'd like to count them, but all but 2 were already dead, and the one live one I hit (he was upside down in his death throes)was cut in half by the line and never made it to the boat. He did do a very graceful slow spiral toward the bottom though. It was like that scene in 'Titanic', but without the romance.
