SALMON PRETTY MUCH DONE. NO PERCH REPORTED YET STILL A LITTLE EARLY, BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE LONG. BLUEGILLS ACTIVE AT DIVERSEY. SMALLMOUTH ACTIVE IN HARBORS ALSO. WINTER FISHING NEWS IS NOT GOOD! NAVY PIER IS CLOSED TILL NEXT SPRING SO FISHING WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED AT THE WEST WALL BY THE BUS STATION. PARKING LOT IS CLOSED SO NO PARKING AVAILABLE AT THE PIER. AS FAR AS PIER PASS PROGRAM FOR THE CHICAGO HARBORS IT IS NOT LOOKING GOOD. MAYOR STILL HAS THE LAKEFRONT CLOSED TO MANY BUT THIS HAS COME WITH LITTLE TO NO ENFORCEMENT.
