Steve Sarley: Illinois’ best fisherman? ‘Jimmy T’ is a top candidate

I was looking to do a story on Illinois’ best fisherman for a Chicago-area newspaper that I write for. I was having a tough time coming up with a worthy name.
All of the best-known names seem to have moved away from the Land of Lincoln for what they considered to be greener pastures. The amazing Lindner brothers, of “In-Fisherman” fame moved their operation to Brainerd, Minn., many years ago.

Don’t forget about puddle hopping for early-season geese

Wisconsin’s early goose season, which runs Sept. 1-15, is ideally suited to puddle-hopping. All you need to do is find private or public ponds, sloughs, marshes, and small rivers that geese are using.
Locate these spots by following geese when they leave fields and return to rest or spend the evening. Check out fields of chopped corn, harvested wheat stubble, and cut alfalfa with fresh growth. Or, cruise quiet roads and look for flocks sitting on water.
