    I have caught many fish on the Fox, from Wisconsin to Yorkville, Illinois. Since 1972. We caught bucket-fills of 12 inch bluegills, and 15 inch crappies. From the river and the Chain-O-Lakes. Pier fishing on Lake Petite, catching 60 fish or more a night.

    Fox R fisheries pretty good. Multi-species fun at times. Heavy fishing pressure at most metropolitan areas areas. Great to see bald eagles, hawks, cormorants, herons, etc. I remember earlier days, late 60s -70s, health organizations warned of eating Fox R fish. Lotsa’ trash & pollution in river…cleaned up nicely. More respect given to environment over the years.

    I used to get walleyes on the east side of that island and smallies and white bas on the south end. Before the area at the power plant was redone you used to get pike in the spring. Im in Arizona these days missing the fox river

      I catfish this river alot. I stopped using drum for bait years ago. They just don't seem to like it very much. Any panfish species is better. Smaller chunks do better here. The fish are mostly channels with a few flathead. I catch more flathead walleye fishing

      @@John_Montefalco I believe you, I should venture out more but have limited time. The Elgin area is great all the way down to the South Elgin dam and beyond. Carpentersville and Dundee is also a great area, all through Dundee there are a lot of rocks, that's where the smallmouth are going to be. All the mudflats and mud eddies hold channel cats into the evening there too. I caught 15 smallmouth bass in the 2lb range in Elgin wading in the river last Sunday. In the heat of summer all the guys are catching the larger smallmouth holding tight to the rocks off the bottom in the middle of the river. 👍

      @@John_Montefalco right now all the guys catching smallmouth are using soft plastic crayfish or swimbaits bouncing off bottom in little hops. Also sqaurebill cranks retrieved with the current bumping rocks will produce all throughout Cville and Dundee. With all the cicadas out now I hit them right at sundown on top water heddon torpedoes. For the cats I use a lot of nightcrawlers off bottom because I can also catch a big carp or whatever is biting. I usually enhance my gob of crawlers with a spritz of crayfish attractant has noticeably upped my odds on the crawler bite. Hope this helps.

      Summer time the dam holds a lot of “trash” fish. Cats, carp, and drum. With the occasional big smallmouth and spotty white bass. The game fish don’t really start coming in until late September early October at the dam

      They are all over, especially this turn of year. My favorite way of targeting them is just with a few 1/8 oz split shots up from a floating jighead and a crawler. Fishing upstream of structure.
