I am moving to north east Illinois from Florida in a couple months. The hunting looks absolutely outstanding compared to what we have in Florida. The fishing on the other hand doesn’t look to spectacular. I did a Google images search for “Illinois bluegill crappie”; the fish looked really small. I hope it’s not really like that. Are there eating size bluegill and crappie in the Rock River or the Mississippi? How many month of fishing do you have?
Thanks
