My wife would be a fishing widow if I lived closer to the Illinois River. That tank of a smallmouth had to be over 15 years old! Gona stop off at Gore Landing on my way back from a big overland event over in AR second week of Oct.. . May throw some barbless fly's at some trout up at that Helen Watts area on the lower.

Lol, yea after 20 year together my wife knows the drill. Fishing=shopping! Lol! October is a great time to be on the river! Have fun!
Good video! Had a blast. Nothing like catching smallies on the illinois with the fam
A great day for sure! Ready to do it again!
Where do you take off on the Illinois river?
Just depends, quite a few access points and I have used most of them, but I spend more time on the lower sections of the Upper Illinois River.
