From the deep, blue waters of Lake Michigan, to the great rivers, and crystal-clear smaller lakes and ponds, Illinois is a great place for anglers and boaters to call home.
The Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources provides a wealth of state boating and fishing information, many of which is specifically designed for families. Check out the Kids & Family Fishing Hotspots page and plan your next fishing expedition. And be sure to print out the Beginner's Guide to Fishing before your trip to prepare your young angler (and perhaps yourself) for a great day of fishing fun.
