Many of the above comments are true but fishing in northern IL can be awesome some my biggest fish come from home waters and trust me I fish all over some yrs holding 7 different states and Canada. I travel to different states for many reasons before I get asked if fishing is so great why do I leave the state! Right now the Fox Chain is producing walleye's with many fish over 27''.Let me know if you move east.
Fox Chain have been amazing for fishing this year and one of my home lakes had me land my personal best crappie! 18incher!!!
