The water
Illinois River (Tahlequah) is a freestone river in Oklahoma, fished for smallmouth bass, spotted bass, catfish, panfish, white bass. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
