Thanks Bill, With your information I had the confidence to go ahead with my plans. I put in Friday afternoon, 17th, and Saturday morning, 18th. We did not get into any striper or trout action. On Friday we cought 10 bass in a couple of hours. On Saturday, with four on my boat, I cought ten fish, the rest cought about ten more, about 20 fish in 5 hours, all bass. Some black, large mouth, and small mouth, the largest about 2 lbs. They were all fat and frisky. The other group with us that went for striper with a guide cougnt nothing. This was my first experience on the Lower Illinois and I loved it. Now I have to get going on my flly fishing skills. wanabeflyer(Morton Hatch)

Hi all. I am planning to put my bass boat in at Gore Landing. I have been by there but have not launched there. I would like to know what to expect if the water is low, or high. Are the currents strong? will I have trouble loading or unloading if the lake is generating? How far up can I go, etc. If anyone has had some experience there I would appreciate your input. Thanks
