Fishing on the Fox Chain of Lakes. Has been lights out, while the bite windows are short the right time, the fishing is phenomenal. Ice conditions very great ly so we have safe access and we are totally open for the season

Yellow bass bite is as hot as fire! But unfortunately ice in Illinois is gone. That means we have wading trips! Excited to start jacking small mouths with fly rods and conventional gear.

Bite is on fire on the fox chain with panfish and multi species full day trips catching great fish. The ice is in great condition and the snow cover will improve the bite.
