    RE: Illinois fishing

    Life long Illinois resident, I fish Newton good fishing (tournament fished heavily) Mill Creek 20 miles from my house(heavily fished by all + highest ramp fee I have ever seen out of many lakes from Arkansas east. I know this sounds like an old fart rambling but I feel fishing pressure is not being compensated for in Illinois. Other states seem like efforts have been made to improve the amount as well as quality of fish. If what I am saying does not ring true to some degree why is there never any input from folks about what they caught and where on the Illinois site..are they catching so many they don't want to share the info? I know they spend large amounts of money for the trout replacement on the lake michigan. Our fishing is not bad just maybe not on parr with Ky or Tn or Indiana just my thoughts.

    RE: Illinois fishing

    I'm an Indiana resident, I don't think there is any reason for me to buy non-resident license to fish IL when we have so much water here. You are right it's not KY or TN but it's close to home.
