I'm 53, two grown sons with a grand daughter on the way in March.   Grew up in Central Illinois fishing mostly farm ponds, live now in a far southwest suburb of Chicago, alot of my fishing is done on the No Illinois cooling lakes Braidwood/LaSalle/Heidecke, the Kankakee/Illinois/DesPlaines rivers, the old strip mines at the Mazonia wildlife area for panfish.  I also fish Sangchris in Central IL, that's one of my goals is to get back home more this year and spend time there.   Spent about 15 years mostly fly fishing - chasing brown and brook trout on tiny little spring fed creeks that you could jump across in SW Wisconsin.  I don't do that much anymore, kind of returned back to my roots of conventional fishing(mostly bass), but I developed habits and techniques fly fishing that have carried over to my bass fishing.  I'm definitely more of a finesse fisherman than I was pre-fly fishing,  that's for sure.  

 

Right now I get around in a Lund 16' Fury with a 25 hp tiller, nothing fancy but it gets me to where I'm going.   I go out probably 2x a week when the weather cooperates, I have pond in my backyard that fishes really well for bluegill and bass and I enjoy poking around there a few minutes after work.   Almost had the ice off last week, but not quite.  

 

Looking forward to learning and improving my fishing here.
