In my youth during the 1950's and 1960's there was a fishing club at the mouth of the Cahokia Diversion Canal (also referred to as the Hartford Canal) where it drained into the Mississippi River. This canal is about a mile south of Hartford, Illinois, and is opposite the point where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi. A small state park commemorating the Lewis and Clark Expedition (and accessable from Route 3) is on the south bank of the canal, and the club was on the north bank. My family had picnics at the state park many times, and we would see the club members dipping a net into the canal to catch fish. By the time I was in the boy scouts (Troop 24, South Roxana Dad's Club) activity at the club on the canal had stopped.
