Section 810

Section 810.45 Site Specific Water Area Regulations

a) Site specific regulations are listed by water area affected. The coverage of the regulation is dictated by the extent of the water area listed and not by the county. In some cases, regulations for a given water area or site may extend beyond the counties listed. The counties listed refer to the location of the dam or outfall for impoundments or mouths of small streams. Since large rivers or streams usually flow through many counties, the term “Multiple” is used rather than listing all counties where the large stream or river flows.

b) If a water area is not listed, then statewide restrictions apply. If a Minimum Length Limit or a Daily Harvest Limit is not listed, then statewide restrictions apply.

c) Daily Harvest Limits are an aggregate count of all species listed for each regulation, except as noted otherwise. For species not listed, statewide restrictions apply.

d) The following subsections explain additional restrictions or special provisions referred to by number in parentheses for water areas listed in this Section.

1) Sport fishermen must not use more than 2 poles and each pole must not have more than 2 hooks or lures attached (Alabama rigs not allowed) while fishing, except that legal size cast nets (in accordance with Section 810.50(a)(2)), shad scoops, and minnow seines may be used to obtain shad, minnows and crayfish to use as bait, provided that they are not sold, and except that bullfrogs may be taken by hand, gig, pitchfork, spear, landing net and hook and line during bullfrog season.

2) Sport fishermen may not use a minnow seine, minnow trap, cast net or shad scoop for bait collecting in the following water areas:

Charleston Lower Channel Lake tailwaters from that portion of the Embarras River from the Charleston Lower Channel Lake Dam downstream to the Route 130 Bridge.

Clinton Lake tailwaters from that portion of Salt creek from the Clinton Dam downstream to the route 10 Bridge.

Lake Decatur tailwaters from that portion of the Sangamon River from the Lake Decatur Dam downstream to the Route 48 Bridge.

3) All jugs set in a body of water shall be under the immediate supervision of the fisherman. Immediate supervision shall be defined as the fisherman being on the water where the jugs are set and readily available to identify jugs to law enforcement officers.

4) When using live bait, all live bait in excess of 8” in total length shall be rigged with a quick set rig. The hook shall be immediately set upon the strike. A quick set rig is defined as follows: a live bait rig with up to 2 treble hooks attached anywhere on the live bait; single hooks are prohibited. This subsection (d)(4) does not apply to trotlines, jug lines, etc., if allowed on the lake.

5) Sport fishermen may take carp, carpsuckers, buffalo, gar, bowfin and suckers by pitchfork, gigs, bow and arrow or bow and arrow devices.

6) The daily harvest limit for yellow perch shall not exceed 15 fish in the combined waters of Lake Michigan, Calumet River, and Chicago River including its North Branch, South Branch and the North Shore Channel.

7) It shall be illegal to possess trout during the period of October 1 to 5 a.m. on the third Saturday in October (both dates inclusive) that were caught during that period.

8) It shall be illegal to possess trout during the period of March 15 to 5 a.m. on the 1st Saturday in April (both dates inclusive) that were caught during that period.

9) Catch and Release Fishing Only means that fish (all identified species) caught must be immediately released alive and in good condition back into the water from which they came.

e) Fishing regulations, including species of fish, fishing methods and Daily Harvest Limits are listed for each water area. The numbers in parenthesis refer to the corresponding numbered definitions in subsection (d) of this Section. If a water area is not listed or if a specific species is not listed, then statewide restrictions apply.
