Fished the DPR with Alex from 1pm-3:45pm in Park Ridge/Rosemont. Overcast; foggy; temps in the upper 40's. South winds.

The water was high and fast. The area right under the dam was very turbid and produced no results. Worked upstream and had a northern pike hammer a jig and the fight was on. Then the line got cut. People in several communities then heard F-bombs bellow throughout! Got a decent look at the fish, probably mid 20's in length.

Later Alex had a smaller northern on a jig that actually tail-danced, but alas, spit the hook.

So we did not land any fish, but at least there was a little action. And nice day to be out for wintertime.

Any day you can get out and hook into fish so close to home is great. You'll get em next time, I think I'm going to walk the dog along the river again tomorrow,see if I can do any good.

Atleast you gave it a try today. This warmer weather today made me want to get out as well.
