Maybe on the Vermillion river near Pontiac, or even the Mackinaw river (West of Bloomington). No, I don't fish central Illinois much in the winter. I will drill a hole in the ice and dangle a Swedish pimple in front of some bluegills every once in awhile but that's about it. One of the reasons I decided to take up muskie on the fly was to give myself a winter fly fishing option. Lake Kinkaid in far southern Illinois is close enough for a weekend trip and the muskie fishing there is supposed to be among the best in the state between late November and early June when the water is cold enough. This year I'll be fishing the winter trout season in southeastern Minnesota. More like wandering around in the snow with a fly rod in hand but what the hell. -- Ken Fortenberry |
