    Was wondering if the guys north of me could point me in the direction of good walleye waters in IL. This year is the first time Iv ever targeted walleye hope for some direction from the members. Thanks

    Default walleye help

    Depends how far north you are wanting to come? The Illinois River is mostly sauger with very few walleye mixed in. I fish pool 13 and 14 of the Mississippi River and do fairly well on a mix of walleye and sauger.

    If you are going to the IL River in LaSalle, go a little further and fish Lake Shabbona. I have a 30" fish on the wall from there caught in 1989-90. Caught another 1/2" longer a month later and released it. Sure there are still some bigguns in there. Caught one about 7# 3-4 years ago. Smallmouth are great, too. PM me and I will tell you what I know about location and technique.
