Got a question? Chances are someone else did too, so we reeled in the answers for you. Whether you’re wondering about bait, fishing hours, or good old-fashioned fish stories, this page has you covered. Take a look before you head our way, just like Grandpa used to say, “It’s best to ask before you cast!”
Generally our fishing season runs from the first weekend in April to late September. For more specific information, please call 847-639-3734.
