Want to know where to go?
Chicago is unique among the largest cities in the United States - few have as many local bait and tackle shops as we do.
Fishing is spoken in these little gems and the existence, partnership and cooperation of these bait and tackle shops is crucial to the way we fish in Chicago and to our fishing opportunities throughout the fishing season. Give them your support. These brick-and-mortar establishments know local fishing better than anyone else: where the fish are bitin’, and on what. Give them a call, or better yet, pay them a visit (they still have that wonderful “fishing scent” to them), and drop a few dollars when you do.
You will miss them when they are gone.
