Downtown Chicago river channel catfish drop shot fishing

Thanks to Friends of the Chicago River and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources there are healthy channel catfish in the Chicago river. In June of 2014 30,000 catfish were released into the river. All fish were caught on a drop shot using red worms and were released back to the river.
