Where are these backwaters? I can remember fishing them once as a kid, but I would have no idea where to find them now.

Are they any good? Not looking for any honey holes, just a new place to practice CPR. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks.

A few years back, I fished a backwater/bayou area, near Aroma Park, IL.
Otherwise, I think Indiana has the most backwater area available.

I didnt know the ice was out. I'll have to get out there htis weekend. Could be a few crappie and there's always a few pike this time of year.
Thanks for the update.

Check out the backwaters in the DesPlaines Conservation area I have caught some nice Crappie, Bluegills there.

I drove by the other day and there were logs, utility poles and any other kind of wood you could imagine all backed up in there. It covered so much that you couldnt make a cast or even drop a line.
