A big shout out to Sugar Grove resident Eric Schaaf for sharing the photo above. Eric hosts and produces Fish the Fox, a website devoted to fishing activities on the Fox River. The site offers a variety of helpful information about the river and features a personal journal about Eric’s fishing activities. Those with an interest in fishing and the Fox River will appreciate the site, but you don’t have to fish to enjoy Eric’s gallery of photos and images capture along the Fox River. Be sure to take a few minutes and visit Eric’s site.
