muskie season

[D4 Army]

I saw on the dnr HSOforum that your sportfishing is always open. Is that including muskies?

Yep I believe thats correct. Remember that lake regs. are site specific and that info is on dnr site. Some lakes shut down for winter season some for duck,goose. In Il. our ice fishing isn't that long. Bob may have more, hopefully he didn't get run over on LaSalle. ttg.

You can fish for them year around. I think the power plant lakes are the ones that close. There is one out west of the Chicago burbs that closes but I don't know the name of it. It's south of Rockford. When ice fishing channel a few weeks ago I seen some monsters swim through.

thanks guys. I'm trying to talk a friend into going out there to fish. I don't know if I can wait until June here in Minnesota. Was looking at Shabbona. That's not that far from southern minnesota.

Your welcome. Haven't fished that lake so the only tip I could give is, if you could swing it fish thru the week. Also noticed it looks like it has a 10hp limit.

good tip to know. I'd be taking my boat then with my 9.8 hp. I'm assuming we would pay a fee for the state park too right?

[time to go]

Shabbona Lake State Park is online. Alot of good info there.I didn't see anything about fees but they have contact #s I would use. ttg.

I don't think there is a fee to launch. Not 100% though.
