SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - The spring trout fishing season is underway at nearly 50 locations across Illinois.
Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller says the season started Saturday. He says it’s “always a great time for families to go fishing and catch some tasty trout.”
Each spring the department stocks more than 60,000 rainbow trout in bodies of water where fishing is allowed.
