Illinois anglers face a favorable outlook for spring and summer as fisheries chief Michael Conlon reports minimal losses from freezing events on state waters. He notes shallow and backwater lakes lost fish but should recover, with three to five years needed to grow stock that appeals to sport and commercial fishermen.
Ray Scott, head of the Bass Anglers' Sportsman Society, defends tournament fishing as only a minor factor in fish population while promoting stricter rules. New limits cut daily catches to seven, raise minimum bass length to 14 inches, and double bonuses for released fish. Auburn study backs release as conservation, and Illinois eyes hatchery upgrades funded by higher fishing license fees.
