Does anyone here fish the Fox for muskies? I'm thinking of getting out there and could use some insight about what stretches of the river are boatable. I know about the areas above Batavia and St. Charles that are boat-able but I'm more curious about the areas south of there that are boat-able.

Is there a safe area (not too shallow that we have to worry about grounding a prop) near Yorkville or Montgomery? How far can we run on thses stretches?

Thanks for any insight you cna provide.

Not so sure about boating, but we did just get in a real nice photo of someone who caught a nice 42"er recently down in the Aurora area while wading.

Is the river kicking out any skies yet?

Sold a lure retriever to a guy at the Chicago swap that said he had caught 4, pretty far south if I remember right.
