Still have opening days in IL, March/April and October, but it's put and take here and only closed for a few weeks. Still crowded in the spring though. IDNR has really mixed things up by having a fly fishing only catch & release opener a few weeks earlier at a few locations. I'd be up for extending it to a few months instead of weeks, especially in the fall/winter. Might bring more bait slingers over to the dark side. Luke
