Took the 19 mile canoe trip down the river for the first time. It was a far paddle but well worth it. I mainly went there to camp and do a little fishing. Only caught catfish and sandbass. I did see some gars and off-colored carp. I don't know if golden algae was the culprit for the lack of quality, but I did not see any huge stripers or LMB's being caught. I did not see alot of dead fish (probably washed down river). Fishing off a canoe was probably a big problem as well plus lack of experience. Anyhow, had a fun time with the woman and the dog. The river was just stunning, even though I got skunked. Going back there next time with a Kayak and start at rochelles.
