Kankakee River, Lake County

Fished the river last tuesday ( 4/25/17) and caught one decent smallie. Caught it on a fly jig. Nothing else was biting 

River is high 8.5 ft and clearing. 53° river, 55° bayous.

Slow day only one slot size smallie by my buddy Joe.

Beautiful day on the river!

Launched at Grand Kankakee Marsh. River was at flood stage 9'  40 degrees and stained. Fished the mouth of the Hodge ditch.

A beautiful day although no fish :-(. We will get em next weekend. 

River and bayous closed for duck season state line to 41 bridge.

Fished wildwood bayou. Slow very slow. Water was high river at 8 ft and clearing.

I was fishing the kank today and looked down in like 8 inch deep water and saw baby stingray, has anyone else noticed them?

Fishing up and down Lasalle Portion of the Kank. Nothing was biting. May of gotten on the river a little late, but a gentleman caught a walleye right in front of us.. it looked like he was fishing wit minnows under a bobber.

Sat in my usual spot, and the only thing I hooked into was a few suckers, water still a bit high and stained. Need some really nice sunny days and no rain. There are some nice walleyes in this river, just have to find them. The picture is from last year,, just have to locate them this year.
