New Features for 2010!

We hope you find our web site useful as you seek information about the great sport of fishing. We want to emphasize that ILFishing.com is a multi-species site, interested in all methods of fishing for all kinds of fish. As always, access to our pages is free, with no passwords to use nor forms to fill out.

We welcome fishermen of all ages to submit their photos, stories, and events to be included on ILFishing.com. Click on the "Submit Photos/Articles" link in the the red box at the bottom of the page for details. Again, there is no cost to submit them and entry in our drawings is free.

New for 2010 will be our Video Page, which will feature videos of fish catches, tips, interviews, fishing-related events, and more.

Our 2010 Fish Photo Drawing is being sponsored by Midwest Fly Fishing Magazine and will feature more and bigger prizes for those who submit fish photos. Rules will be posted on our Prizes Page, which can be accessed by clicking on the prize icon in the upper right corner of main pages. Visit our Photo Gallery to see entries.

A very important part of utilizing ILFishing.com is the Site Search feature. This will enable you to more easily find our fishing information and articles by simply entering the name of a lake, fishing season, species of fish, etc. It is located in the middle section of our main pages.

This year we have updated our Site Map and added an Articles Site Map that contains a complete list of all our articles, along with a Site Search feature on the page.

Don't forget to take advantage of our Fishing Forums. Here you can discuss and ask about all aspects of fishing, including fishing destinations, techniques, lures, equipment, events, fishing clubs, etc.

In our effort to provide a comprehensive source of information for those who fish in Illinois, ILFishing.com will continue to provide and expand our lists of Illinois fishing clubs, tournament groups, bait shops, guides, map sources, boat dealers, DNR links, marinas, and fishing web sites and media.

Here's hoping that 2010 is your best fishing year ever!!
