Hi

I've killed lots of pheasants there! Oh, sorry, that's a different question :)

Seriously though, I have seen a number of posts some time ago on one of the "Indiana" forums on another site and I think if you do a search in here you will find some old posts.

I seem to recall redear being prevalent in those discussions but I could be mistaken.

Good luck!

Take a peek at my photo's if you'ld like, all the 'gills and redears are from the Slough.
Hey again Calvin

There was a couple of guys talking about Willough Slough in the Indiana, Illinois, etc. group. You could join and then get access to that plus the ability to contact them.

I'm headed to Willow Slough again tomorrow, I'll let you know.
I took dad out Saturday afternoon when the weather broke. Fished the north part of the lake past Deer Island. Caught 50 something from 4:45 - 8pm. Smaller this week... a few 8s, mostly 7s, several throw backs. Surface temp was 74. The spawn is definately done, and I suspect the big boys are recovering. Fishing 4 fow with sticks and grassy cover.
