Illinois Fishing
Fishing is a lifetime leisure sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from all walks of life, and the midwest has some of the best fishing in the USA. Our abundant water resources provide home and habitat for a wide variety of freshwater fish species. Fishing is a popular activity enjoyed by millions of people worldwide. Although a large segment of the fisherman population participates largely on a recreational level, it should be recognized that fishing is also one of the largest food-acquiring and -producing industries in the world.
Lake Erie frequently produces more fish for human consumption than all the Great Lakes combined. Sport fishing is a keystone recreational activity on Lake Erie and a prime economic driver of the coastal tourism industry. Lake charts are available at local sporting good stores and the Chamber for a nominal fee. If your success has slowed down, try using night crawlers or a variety of Power Baits almost any where around a lake.
