Fly fishing the Kankakee: Bears training camp option

By Sun-Times Wire

Click here for today’s column about fly fishing the Kankakee River for smallmouth bass with Matt Mullady.

River is in perfect condition for wading. I just wish more people who came to Bears training camp took advantage of the opportunities the Kankakee River offers, not just the fishing.

For Mullady, the veteran Kankakee guide who offers many forms of fishing the river, call (815) 932-6507.

BTW, I just had a blast Monday morning with a couple special hours in the river.
