So I am in Chicago for my two daughters to clog in the Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow. FYI, clogging has Appalachian mountain origins and is the state dance of North Carolina. I brought an extendable fishing rod and a few jigs with me as we are staying right on the Chicago River right near where it empties into lake Michigan. I am going to try to cast a few times just to "fish" in a state I've never fished before. Not wanting to get into any trouble out of ignorance, is it ok to fish around that area if I get a non-resident day or two license. Not worried if I catch anything or not. Thanks in advance for any info. We are here till Saturday.
