Fishing In Sullivan

Lake Shelbyville is one of the top Midwestern destinations for fisherman. With 11,000 acres and 200 miles of shoreline, Lake Shelbyville offers a multitude of fishing opportunities. Popular game species include catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, muskie, walleye, white bass, and bluegill. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with the local Illinois Department of Natural Resources District Fisheries biologist stock walleye or sauger on a yearly basis and manage 16 farm ponds to maintain sizeable populations. The ponds range in size from less than an acre to 27 acres and most are easily accessible by foot.

For current fishing opportunities, see current local fishing report and fishing tournaments and Army Corps. For information on fishing licenses, see the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

For members of the public without a boat, you can fish at one of sixteen managed farm ponds around Lake Shelbyville or at Wyman Park in Sullivan.

For fishing supplies you can contact Chips Marine 217-827-9643 located at 1068 CR 1025 N, Sullivan, IL 61951.
