Why not try ice fishing and open your senses to an exciting winter event. You must carry your license with you when you're fishin', summer or winter. Be sure to get a copy of the current Illinois Fishing Regulations to find out about restrictions, special regulations, new changes and general statewide regulations. Look below to find information to help you get ready for your ice fishing adventure. All ice activities on Evergreen Lake are at the visitor's own risk.
Winter activities are always safer with a partner.
Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you'll return. A rule of thumb is to be sure the ice is at least 4 inches thick. Be sure and check ice conditions before heading out and follow a path if there is one. Because ice thickness can vary across an area, check more than one spot. Watch out for holes in the ice or open water.
