Fishing Licenses
Below is a brief excerpt of the sport fishing information found on the IDNR website. For complete information see their website at http://www.dnr.state.il.us.
Anglers under 16 years of age, and persons declared legally disabled (Secretary of State issued Disabled I.D. card showing a Class 2 or 2A disability or Disabled Veterans holding a Veteran's I.D. showing at least a 10% service related disability) or blind, may fish without a license. Owners or tenants (if they reside on the land) may fish in waters on or flowing over their lands without a license. This exemption does not apply to club and organizational lakes or lake developments.
Persons on active duty in the Armed Forces are considered residents. A person on active duty in the armed forces, who entered the service from Illinois and is an Illinois resident, may fish without a license while on leave. Reference the 2005 Information and Regulations.

Fishing License Availability
Starting in 2006 there are now two ways to purchase your Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) sport fishing licenses. The state will no longer be issuing paper fishing licenses.
- Electronic terminal licenses – These will be available for sale at the marina during operating hours.
- Online - Licenses are available online through the IDNR website at www.dnr.state.il.us. Anyone without access to a computer at home may purchase their license online using the guest computer in the lobby at the Owners’ Club. Administrative staff will be able to help any member needing assistance to purchase a fishing license online.
Free Fishing Days
Annually the Illinois department of Natural Resources (IDNR) names several days during which no fishing license is required. These “free fishing days” are normally held in early June. Please see their website for exact dates.
