Rough Fish Wish List

Since taking up carp fishing I have managed a few other species of socalled rough fish as incendentals. These included Grass Carp, Smallmouth Buffalo, and yellow and brown bullheads.

In the interest of building up my lifelist I am hoping to add to a few roughfish species this year. The fox river is a venue I have not had a chance to fish yet and is an extremely diverse biosystem. I would like to get out to carp fish there and maybe desidnate a rod or 2 to suckers.

The Fox River is loaded with at least 3 variaties of Redhorse including smallmouth largemouth, and river redhorses. And the suburban fox river holds the state records for both the smallmouth and largemouth redhorses.

I doubt I will get out to Indiana this year but if I do I will hopefully get a chance at quilbacks.
