Fly Fishing
Trout streams in Northern Illinois
They do exist. If I could get the dnr to actually help protect them I would walk them thru a wonderful place in northern Illinois in a location they do not stock even if where they stock they wouldn’t overflow to here. Also no fin clippings. I’ve been catching them in this location for two decades. This is a breeding steam and I wish I could get biologists to help save it I know it’s not natural them being there but they are breeding numbers over the years have dwindled who knows maybe some of you are in my same water. But for those who say no. Keep believing that and hopefully before too many people discover this anomaly it will become protected as browns are native to the location but I have not seen any of them in years just rainbows 4”- well it was 19 and I could barely get two hands around it
