The Illinois is awesome for bowfishing. Should be able to findfish anywhere. The farther downstream you go, the more Asian's you find. Get out there and shoot'em!

You'll find the bigheads sucking near the surface in calmer backwaters and downstream of dams.

The jumpingsilvers will hit the air whenever you go through a school of them with your outboard. They will be localized in groups, so remember where you find them so you can motor back over the area again for more shots.

Kill them down South beforemore come up North. :)
