    Illinois River

    Flows perfect.
    Rain missed its basin.
    Water very cool for this time of year.
    Caught a few smallies, without much effort.
    Good float with the grandsons was the main focus.
    Good time to get on it if you can.

    Some while floating.
    Stopped and waded some too.
    Walked the high bank at the camp in the a.m. hopping rocks like a kid again.
    Riverside camp has some nice Jackson Kayaks with adjustable backs that are nice rentals that had plenty of room for coolers and tackle boxes, but no buggy cords. Didn’t need them as long as you don’t tumble over, which we did not.
    Only bad thing about that camp is they don’t allow any personal kayaks on the camp grounds whatsoever.
