Deaddog..

You could put in at Seba park that is in South Elgin a little further north than Blackhawk till St. Charles. Otherwise from Oswego down or I had in the past had the canoe livery drive me up and left my car with them,(sorry name escapes me) and float down nice scenery down that way at places. I am sure others might have some answers for you.

Dead dog,

Seba has rock outcroppings in places where you can easily get into the Kayak. There are also numerous clearings at the park where you can get in or out. There was a launch in Batavia but they blocked it off. All for the better ,it was at the head of a riffle and a big mud hole to the front on the launch. You basically stepped into the mud and then had to get out to get past the shallow riffle. Obviously not designed to be kayak friendly.lol Rambler if you dont mind me asking ,do you paddle upstream and float down or head south and paddle back? Lots more people out since the Covid demic, so access on the weekend may take some maneuvering.

Dead Dog.. The run own down from Momtgomery to Saweekee Park is some good water to fish..pretty shallow so no powerboats at least from what I've seen. The best part of all this is learning the water.. 8) Thanks Badger The Fishin Musician is suffering from old timers .. I have forgotten much of what I knew..LOL The river has really surprised me on how it's changed in the last ten years. There are still great fish to catch. I fished a 56 acre strip mine today and the water was 85.3 degrees. The largemouth didn't want to jump and all my best fish came out of 18 feet of water. caught a couple of 9 inch bluegill ..they actually pulled the yak. Good luck.

Deaddog..Glad Seba worked out for you. When the water is down, there will be some shallow water to avoid. St.Charles has been a zoo since everyone is staying around and hunkered down a bit. I have see the lot FULL this year which in the past was not the case. Rambler is right, Ayers was whom I was thinking of for shuttling, and that Sheridan Wedron area is pretty and less populated. Did you fish at all? Water temps are mid 80's where I have been. I've taken baths and showers colder then that. Have stopped fishing for awhile the heat can't possibly be good on a hooked fish.
