Nice report...looked for it on FHQ and didn't see it anywhere.

Excellent report Ed. Glad to see someone was getting something on the end of there lines as we Lewis and Clarked it down the DuPage. We did find some promising water that should be REAL thick with fish come late spring early summer.

It was a great book about his mini fly fishing adventures. He has a great way of writing that really gives you a visual of what he is t...

Easy enough. I'll shoot for 2pm then. Not sure what I'm going to be throwing yet. I love the thrill of working a fly rod, but I'll land more fish throwing spinning gear. I'll end up bringing both I'm sure.
