Apple River, IL

Travel Guide

Historic Fort Apple River in Illinois, USA
A decent sized tiger musky in a shallow clear area right off the main lake basin. I estimated the size of this fish at 38 to 40 inches. I have caught muskies up to 49 inches in this lake. I always love to get photos of fish in natural habitat and muskies are close to impossible to find in open water.

Clean room, nice staff. Loud lobby until midnight. May not have mattered if our room wasn’t at the top of the open staircase. Great breakfast

Taken from a second hot air balloon this shot shows a hot air balloon in the distance with a slight glow at sunrise. It is hard to stay calm when you are in a basket 4,000 feet up in the air.
