I came across this info from the IN Smallmouth Alliance page. Thought I should share with those who might be interested.

that's awesome! thanks for sharing
I heard about some stuff the dupage FP was doing to make the WB better. Hopefully those fish got smart real quick and are hiding in some nice spots! Can't wait to find some, say hello, then send them on their merry way.

I am encouraged with the progress they've made on the river. I haven't had a lot of luck on the WB in two years now, but hopefully it was from all of the cleanup going on upstream.

I was on the WB a few weeks back and my wife kicked my ass- 10 fish, 7 were smallies (her first 7). Nothing huge, but it seems like there are lots of fish if you know where to look. Or maybe we just got lucky. I'm a newbie!
