Where to fish?

Luckily for us here in the Quincy area of Illinois, Siloam Springs State Park, here in Adams County, was named one of the best places for trout fishing during the fall season last year by the experts at fishingbooker.com. It seems as though the state does a good job of spreading the trout throughout the state so that no matter where you live you won't be too far away from a good place to fish for trout. I have never been trout fishing but I bet I would enjoy it, there are few things better than a cooler full of beer, a lunch packed with snacks, and hanging with your buddies trying to catch some fish!
