Year-round fly fishing for multiple species

The Illinois River offers excellent fly fishing for striped bass, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, buffalo, catfish, and other species. Its natural beauty creates an ideal environment for both casual and serious anglers.

Many fishing records have been set on the Lower Illinois, including a 47.8 lb striped bass, rainbow trout, and redhorse.

Trout Stocking Season

The Lower Illinois River is stocked with trout year-round.

Designated Trout Area

A 7.75-mile stretch of the river, from the Tenkiller Ferry Dam to the U.S. 64 bridge near Gore in Sequoyah County, is designated for trout fishing.

  • Drive four miles north of Gore on State Highway 100.
  • Turn east onto County Road E0990 and continue for one mile to the entrance.

Parking is available in designated areas, and the unit is primarily managed for walk-in access.

Four additional public access points are available along the trout stream:

  1. A pool below the dam, ideal for trout fishing even during high power generation.
  2. The River Road Public Access Area, six miles downstream from the dam.
  3. The Gore Landing Public Access Area, managed by the town of Gore, offers camping and boat launch ramps.

Taranaki Region, New Zealand

Immersive Sight Fishing Amidst Stunning Scenery

Located on the central western coast of New Zealand’s North Island, the Taranaki region offers an exceptional fly fishing experience, abundant with trout. Its network of over 40 small to mid-sized rivers and streams, fed by the rich ecosystem of Egmont National Park, makes it an angler’s paradise.

  • Brown Trout
  • Rainbow Trout
  • Perch

Stockholm Archipelago

Here’s the revised version of your text with improved language fluency, corrected grammar, and enhanced readability while preserving the original meaning:


Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden

Over 30,000 islands and endless fishing opportunities

Stockholm is located in one of the world’s largest archipelagos, comprising more than 30,000 islands. The fishing opportunities are endless—from open coastlines where you can catch sea trout during colder months to secluded bays perfect for northern pike, perch, and other species.

You can even fish for salmon and sea trout in the city center when they migrate into Stockholm’s Ström from the sea. Urban fishing depends on sufficient water levels in Lake Mälaren, prompting the opening of hatches to release water. This typically occurs between September and May.

Fishing Regulations:

  • No license required.
  • Size limits (if keeping your catch):
    • Sea Trout: Min. 50 cm, max. 1 wild fish (clipped adipose fin exempt)
    • Salmon: Min. 60 cm
    • Pike: 45–75 cm, max. 3 per day
    • Perch/Pike-Perch: Min. 45 cm, max. 3 per day

  2. Conciseness:

    • Shortened phrases like "when the fish arrives to Stockholm’s Ström from the sea" → "when they migrate into Stockholm’s Ström."
    • Combined "minimum/maximum sizes" into a clearer bulleted list.
  3. Formatting:

    • Added headers and bullet points for scannability.
    • Standardized species names (e.g., "Perch pike" → "Perch/Pike-Perch").
