·Fished by the 47 bridge for a few hours very early this morning, the hour before light producted one 17+ walleye & one very big fish lost (ain't that always the way it goes?), went down to Blackberry creek & fished all the way down to the mouth with only one hit by the big brushpile. Met and spoke to a fella named Chuck Rogers (Friends of the Fox)He talked of an upcoming "Clean-Up Day" they are planning, I suggested he visit us here on CLF to see if there couldn't be some coordinated effort as some of you have expressed a desire to do the same. Back to the Bridge for a few last casts before going home to dry out (started raining pretty good by this time) picked up another 18" Eye that I'm sorry to say I took home for lunch, I say sorry NOT because there is anything wrong with taking a few fish to eat once in a while but because after filleting the fish I remembered why I don't eat fish from the Fox, they taste the way the river smells, but then I think that of ALL river fish, be it the Fox, Illinois, or the Kank, I swear you could give me 3 fillets, one from each river and I can tell you which fish came from what river! I solomnly swear I will not keep Fox River Fish ever again! Promise! If I want Fish for lunch I'll go the Lake Michigan & catch some Perch!
