Illinois River 2-26

Water temperatures were in the high 30's. Water clarity is good and the river is down about 2 feet. Now, having said that, I went out of Spring Valley's Bartos Landing today and did not even get a bite. We jigged for a couple of hours in water that was 8 - 26 feet deep. I never ever got touched by a fish.

The good news is that by next weekend the river should be down anohter 4 - 5 feet as long as we don't get another huge snow or rain storm and the fishing should be good.
