Hi Okie!

What are you thinking of going after and where are you located?

You can float the upper Illinois and fish for smallies, largemouth and gills. You can also try just hitting farm ponds if you have some in your area. There's also the lower Mountain Fork which is a good trout stream and has a bit more to offer than the lower Illinois. You can also try fishing below Zink dam on the Arkansas. I heard a couple weeks ago that guys were hanging some big stripers over there.

Hope that helps.
