It's trout season in Illinois and anglers are hitting local waterways looking for a big catch. 'For that moment that you’re drifting, you’re paying attention and you can’t fit anything else in your head.”
Fisherman Vic Basil nets a rainbow trout he caught from Rock Creek, March 20, 2022, the second day of Illinois’ spring trout catch-and-release period.
Fly fisherman Rich Rousseau said he had no luck catching trout but was nevertheless enjoying the scenic trail running along Rock Creek,“I was familiar with the creek here, but I had never fished it,” said Rousseau, who lives in Crete, Illinois. “And then you come out here and it’s wonderful. It’s hiking and fishing and you can wade out here and pluck fish out of little holes in the creek and it’s a lot of fun.
“When you cast and you drift a fly, the only thing that you can think about is your fly drifting because if you think about anything else, you’ll miss a bite,” Gonzalez said. “So for that moment that you’re drifting, you’re paying attention and you can’t fit anything else in your head.” Illinois anglers fishing for trout at the state’s stocked locations must purchase a $15 resident fishing license and $6.50 inland trout stamp.Vic Basil of nearby Manhattan, Illinois was wading waist-deep in Rock Creek when he reeled in a ten-inch rainbow trout using a green spinning lure. He gathered the fish in a net then gently removed the hook from its mouth before releasing it.
Hatchery-raised rainbow trout may be easier for anglers to catch compared to wild fish since they’re raised with easily provided food and may be less discriminating in what they eat.given its potential to outcompete native fish for food and consume native fish altogether. Rainbow trout can also crossbreed with other trout or fish species, impacting the genetic purity of the fish.
