Gain a greater appreciation and respect for our underwater neighbors and their unique ecosystem as we practice good angling techniques. Cane poles and bait are available to use, but you are welcome to bring your own. The program begins with a brief presentation and demonstration followed by hands-on fishing with the help of experienced guides. All ages and abilities welcome. All fishing is catch-and-release. Adult supervision of children aged 15 and under is required. SEE BELOW FOR FISHING LICENSE REQUIREMENTS. For more info: (217) 896-2455 or [email protected].
Note: Per the Illinois Department of Natural Resources regulation, a fishing license is required for fishing in all Illinois waters. Licenses are not required for anglers who are under the age of 16, blind or disabled anglers, or residents on active military service. The adult accompanying a child fishing will need a license if they are assisting in fishing. For information on purchasing an Illinois fishing license, visit takemefishing.org.
