The conditions today were very hot and only made tolerable by the
mild wind that blew throughout most of the day. It can be seen by
the results that fishing was hot as well even if the big fish were
hard to find. About 70% of the field of boaters brought in a 5
fish limit.
1st Place Boater Darron Callow from Calona, IL
