Ferson Creek Park — Attraction in St. Charles

We came to Person Creek Park to have a little BBQ, try catching some fish, and to do some kayaking. As a picnic spot, the park is really great, except for one potentially dangerous element: All the fishing hooks lying about. At the place we made our BBQ, I picked up 7 hooks of discarded bits of line, from the ground and grass around the table and between the table and water.

Fishing enthusiasts get the vastness of exposure to the Fox river to give their fishing hooks an...
