| LAKE MARIE By far the best muskie lake in the heavily pressured Fox Chain-O-Lakes in northeastern Illinois, Marie contains fertile waters that have the potential for producing the next state record. DNR surveys indicate fish in excess of the 48-inch minimum in place on The Chain are swimming here. Bolstered by stockings of Leech Lake-strain advanced fingerlings over the past several years - with at least seven solid year-classes of fish already in place - Marie and maybe Channel are your best bets for hooking up with a muskie in The Chain this summer. |
| CHANNELCATFISH: Catfish averaged 18.1 inches in 2003 with several fish over 30 inches and 10 pounds. SMALLMOUTH BASS: The average length smallmouth collected was 13.5 inches (range 8.2 to 16.4). MUSKIE: To date the largest muskie collected during spring sampling was 49.5 inch and weighing 31.8 pounds. WALLEYE: The average female was 22.4 inches long and the average male was 14.8 inches. |
