It was a blast, man! We gotta get another float in next year

That's pretty cool, I want to live on a river some day.

Thanks man!

Thanks, man!

Thank you, Dan! I'd like to get on some ice this year. Hopefully it's better than last ice season.

Hey thanks Mat!

This was recorded in June. The flow was about 30%, I believe. Not very fast at all. Thanks for watching, man!

Thanks man! Looking back at the pic of the other one, I'm like 99% sure this one is my PB

Thanks, man! Yeah, it was my best trip ever, I'd like to have more of those too haha

Well there's only a couple access points so you'd have to trespass through people's backyards to access most of these spots lol. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, man!

Me hoping my new viewer doesn't notice I just moved out of state: 😬😬😬. Nah, but fr thanks! And yeah I moved to TN this summer. I still have 5 Illinois videos to edit/post + I'll be visiting home and recording videos moderately frequently, so the Bloomington content will not stop, dont worry.

Thank you! Anyone could catch them in this river haha

@@EngineeringHooksets My smallie luck isn't the best trust me

​@@APWiperMan holler, we guide on the fox. 🦊

I usually just use shad colored paddle tails. Ill have to try some new patterns. Thanks for watching!

I don't remember the name of the launch spot, but it was ~5 miles upstream of Fox Hollow River Tubing. Thanks!

Lol yeah I didn't really at the time but listening to it back I got it haha

I’ve been house hunting in the somonauk and Wilmington areas so I can fish on their rivers, glad to see ppl are having good luck

Lmao

The Fox definitely has walleye

​@@EngineeringHooksetsnice, what would you recommend using as bait for walleye? And how far to cast it out(from shore)

@Xanderteeny-id21 I'd recommend the EFH Banshee 3" paddle-tail from engineeringhooksets.com in pink. That's my lure brand, but lots of walleye have been caught on them, including in the Fox (pics on my website). As for where to fish, I would say bring your swimsuit to a public access point (kayak launch) and wade out into the river. The Fox is very shallow in most places, so it's easy to wade. Good luck

​@@EngineeringHooksetsthanks

Nevermind. I looked again at the video and saw it was weightless.

@@419_outfitters Thanks for watching!

It's a long river, every stretch is different 🤷

South

That's weird, I've heard nothing but great things about the Fox. I said the location in the video, but we took out at Sheridan.

We guide in that region, and also have kayak fishing schools. Holler!

I live in Dundee also....Fox River Cville to Dundee area I catch Catfish, Bass, Carp, Drum, Walleye and Pike

That's gotta be a joke, right? The Fox River is one of the most well known fisheries in Illinois/Wisconsin. There is no secret

@@EngineeringHooksets I have fished the Fox for smallmouth and catfish and carp for 35 years. The last ten years I’ve met folks from all over Chicagoland on the river. It used to be that everyone would stay up by the damns, which was fine with me. Now I see guys stomping, literally stomping through prime smallmouth holes down river. It kills me. I know it’s everybody’s river, but at least use some etiquette. Please pinch your barbs down, be nice to the fish and report poaching. Enough of this old man ranting. Cheers boys!

I thought the scenery was good. Also, my favorite place to fish is Illinois' only national scenic river. Yeah it's got better views than the Fox but the Fox is still nice.

Maybe he enjoys fishing a river that’s more than 20’ wide! 😅

What?
