They'll be in the water just waiting for you to chase them. |

| I was out on Wednesday night when it was hot. Temps were around 78. With the cold front they should be lower. |

The Fox Chain (of IL at least) is NEVER worth that long a drive... |

| I'm ready to do my 2 hour trip to the chain every week. It's the closest and best place to catch a Muskie for me. I'll be there Monday or Tuesday. |

I thought the same thing. Aren't you closer to kinkaid or something? |

Location: central illinois | Kinkaid trip would be about the same. Google says 3 hours 53 minutes. Yes, I would much rather fish Kinkaid than the Chain. I'm looking for cooler water though. I imagine Kinkaid is boiling right now! |
