I'm heading out this weekend to try my luck once again at fooling a few river smallmouth. I was hoping the list would be kind enough to offer a little help on pattern selection and presentation. The river I'll be on (the Kankakee near Joliet, IL, if anyone's familiar with it) is wide and fairly shallow characterized by long riffles and fallen bridges between runs and pools. I've given this a couple tries this summer in the Missouri Ozarks with minimal success. Regardless of the outcome I'll enjoy the experience, but wouldn't mind feeling something animate pulling in the opposite direction.
Any advice to give me a little confidence boost is much appreciated. Thx, Kevin _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
