My friend I started fishing that river in the early 90's and every time at least once a day I have to voice my opinion at someone on regards to your newly ritten rules/commandments. Ill be looking forward to fishing soon and ya you'll know me when you cross one of those simple rules when I point it out so let's all be respectful.

They they don't care about anyone else on the river unfortunately these people are form Illinois. This weekend the cars down at the river95% of those cars and trucks will have Illinois plates on them, they know when the fish are in the river before the locals do. They stand there and try to snag them as the swim by are they just keep flogging the water in the shallow areas until the hook one in the back. It's ridiculous. And again they only want the eggs to sell back in Illinois.<br /> River patrol.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09731545809449281546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581718564292008713.post-66902315242662708552016-06-01T19:11:03.345-07:002016-06-01T19:11:03.345-07:00I am only 16 and I agree one hundred and ten perce...I am only 16 and I agree one hundred and ten percent on these rules. I hate trying to learn to fish correctly and some jerk comes up real close to me and either crosses my line or snags the fish. Fishing the river can be fun, only if people follow rules 1 and 5. So people, if you can't follow these rules, please don't fish the river, go to the one in South Milwaukee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11020003384740990454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581718564292008713.post-82959676526868332162016-06-01T19:10:32.760-07:002016-06-01T19:10:32.760-07:00I am only 16 and I agree one hundred and ten perce...I am only 16 and I agree one hundred and ten percent on these rules.
