Fox (Illinois R. trib.)

Run on 9/1/18 - level was in lower 2000s and slowly dropping. Beginning of the day the first drop was gone. The second two were small drops with waves. Both were pretty narrow, small spots for front surf, but nothing stable. The middle wave train was still fun. The bottom routes were wavy, good and splashy but nothing to hang around with. The eddies and the eddy lines were quite strong.

I was with a small group of beginners (with gear help from the yak shack). This level was fine for working on basic moves - peel outs, eddies, ferries, and paddling through waves. The eddy lines made for a lot of swims, but everyone had a good time.

There wasn't much for advanced work. The level dropped a little by the end of the day. The first drop started to be a ripple and somethings started to show that would fun as the level continued to drop, but nothing there yet.

Local we talked to said this 2000-2500 range is a little bland.
