Mexican Fish Report
The Illinois is Open to Trout Fishing

Website
The Illinois is again open to trout fishing. There are no hatchery programs on the Illinois, so anglers will mostly encounter wild cutthroat and rainbow trout. These fish should be released unharmed. With the warming weather it’s best to fish early and with barbless hooks to limit stress on fish. Please leave fish in the water as you are releasing them.
There is good public bank access along 8 Dollar Rd. just north of Kerby, and Illinois River Rd. outside of Selma, all the way downstream to Miami Bar. Expect crowds on the weekends and please park outside of the white lines to keep roads clear.
Check the USGS Kerby guage which provides up to date river flow information.
