Illinois Creates Special Lake Home for Smallmouth Bass
Illinois biologists built a dedicated lake at Siloam Springs State Park in Adams County to stock smallmouth bass. The plan aims to favor sport fishing with clear water depths to 27 feet, while keeping largemouth bass out. In initial angling 584 fishermen caught about 799 fish in two days, averaging a foot long. Local officials note potential for 2 to 3 pounders, and suggest draining the lake periodically if needed to preserve smallmouths.
