Welcome back to the channel! With family coming into town to celebrate the 4th of July and rain on the horizon, I managed to sneak in a couple of hours on the Chicago River. My goal for today? To catch a swimbait fish, something I haven’t done yet in 2024. But as always, fishing is full of surprises, and my day ended sooner than expected—and not because of the rain!
