Ran across this video. I haven't fished the Chicago River from shore since I moved out of the city 20 years ago. Haven't been there by boat in a few years. Good populations of bass and crappie swimming around. Even caught a salmon once that made its way thru the locks that connect the river to Lake Michigan. Anyway, the video is put together well.

 

I was last on that river walk downtown 2 years ago. Crazy how much of a ghost town it is in this video. Covid related?

Yep

Super early on the weekend. It's always like that.

looking at the building under construction in the bg, it was probably early in the day and very early 2021.

By the end of the video it’s completely packed, I think they arrived at sunrise and left just after noon

I've been there once . Went to the museum ,saw Sally the T-Rex, took the fairy boat  , the sail boat...stopped and looked at the carp . Those guys need Bass flipping sticks , round baitcasters  and a bigger net .
