Anglers do well at Fox River, catching mostly catfish and smallmouth bass. You can find accessible shorelines all along the river. 4. Chicago River Enjoy dinner and a show before throwing your bait out into the Chicago River to see if you can get a nibble. In a humorous clash of two different worlds, Chicago's elite coexist with grizzled anglers along the city's famed Riverwalk.
