On the way home from work this morning I stopped at my not-so-secret Fox River spot below the Kimball Street dam. The water level, flow and clarity were all down dramatically compared to earlier in the month. The mid-steam rock piles I like to target are fishable now and after a 10 casts or so I found a dance partner, this beauty, who fought like the carp I got last month. A lot of runs, took a fair amount of line, made a couple dramatic jumps. Definitely not the biggest fish I’ve hooked but she certainly didn’t know that.
