Kankakee River and its Tributaries

Is the water too high, too low or just right. Before heading out to fish your favorite flowing water, know what you're up against. Might save you some time or help you decide where to go.

iroquois at Chebanse, very useful for seeing what is coming from that tributary

What a long, strange trip it still is .

Put a glide in your stride, a dip in your hip and come onto the mother ship .

Thanks Norm. I've always meant to include one from that river. Has a pretty big effect on the State Park at times.

i used to fish just above the confluence with the iroquois.
Had a buddy whose parents had friends that lived on the river.
Great folks, very nice retired, they let us park in their yard and wade in.

nice cats and smallies on easy wading.

They gave us permission to come any time to park if we cleaned up after ourselves.

It was a few years we tapped that spot.

One day a guy meets us at shore and asks hows fishing, blah blah..

then asks how come we parked in his yard.

Seems my buddys friends passed away and the family sold the house!
we never knew for years..

they were either never home when we parked and waded, or we were quiet enough to never cause them to notice....

we explained how we came to park & fish and what we were doing...
then the guy was nice and politely asked us to never come back..

:oops:
DOH!
See the world before its gone!
