Fox River Below Yorkville Dam (all postings)

yep hows it going?

Walleyemaster i believe i know you are your initials R.J if they are bro this is T aka THE L-50 bassmaster !!

Well the main thing right now is the water coming out is clear. I'm sure it's a few degrees warmer but I'm not sure.

thanks for the report.i was down there on thursday by the discharge,just snooping around.i mainly fish other dams in the fox but i have done decent at yorkville .they got it all blocked off by the blackberry creek for construction ,and by the dam for high water.i snuck down there under the bridge but got nothing.its a lil fast moving.seems to be no tresspassing everywhere south of the dam enless u wade or have a boat .i will have to try wading down by the discharge soon,never been..heard good things tho. does warm water come out of that one?

I made it out Wednesday. I duck hunt from the state park all the way up to Oswego but that was the first time fishing this stretch. Brought the boat because I knew the water would be up. It was a bit dirtier than I thought. Ran up to the dam and the bypass but current was too strong and there was no decent slack water areas. Checked the creek and tossed some jigs and jerkbaits but found far too much brush to work it effectively. Finally I settled on the discharge. Parked the boat on the rocks and fished from shore. Managed a half dozen crappie and some small bass. Left a slip sinker rig with a highball floater and crawler on the current seem/mudline while I casted. Snagged at least a dozen shad and carp. Threw some jerkbaits and rubber for musky. Actually hooked up with a mid 30's on a white spring bulldawg. Came off about twenty seconds in. That was the only toothy critter to make an appearance

no reports? anyone been out?

Eye master 101 that's because I wasn't there to show u how its done

got some nice gills,a crappie and alotta little bass today,lost a nice 20 inch + eye at the shore yesterday,not long and they should all be up by the dams!! river is really muddy and dark,its good that it came up alot tho.once it settles a little and warms up in the next week, fish will be on fire.

Heading to that area in the morning for toothy critters. Wondering if anyone knows what the river looks currently. Temp, gauge, flow, color?

All wading

Are you fishing from a boat, wading or from shore ?

Anyone targeting walleyes in the Yorkville area might want to consider the fox by south elgin/st charles. Doing pretty good so far in shallow, slow moving slack water on pink jigs and a minnow. Obviously be careful by the dams, its really moving right now. Good luck, PM me if you got questions.

i know that area to and walleyematers you never catch anything down there lol

nice fish musky tales!! i know exactly where ur at!! that place holds alot of ski's and smallie,especially in the summer.has anyone been doing good in the river? i did good last saterday .me and a buddy got 10 smallies north of yorkville,couple around 18 inches and one 15 inch eye.i hope fish start biting better in a week or so.warm weathers coming!!

fish on!!
