The chicagoland area is loaded with fantastic fishing opportunities. The freshwater angler can target dozens of species of gamefish such as largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, muskellunge, salmon, and trout. And if you're looking for channel catfish, blue catfish, crappie, bluegill or even carp, you will find opportunities for trohpies throughout the area.
Here you will find information and resources for fishing in the entire Chicago area. This site is for anglers of all skill levels, from the novice/weekend fisherman, to the avid angler, there is something here for everyone!
Not only will you find my personal fishing reports from the past several years, but also all the information you'll need when visiting a new body of water... parking, restrooms, directions, bait shops, restaurants in the area and any general information I can add to make for a fun, safe, and successful fishing outing!
