During the mid 2000's, Brandyn Shepherd of Yorkville IL often waded and fished the Fox by boat for muskies. His river success made him one of the best river anglers in the region. Escapement from local lakes and the Fox Chain far upstream has led to establishment of a muskie fishery in the Fox River. They are found most commonly throughout the middle river from South Elgin to Silver Springs, as well as in other selected areas. Creek mouths and areas below dams produce the most consistent numbers. Fall surveys throughout multiple locations often produces multiple fish in collections.
