Learn Fishing Chicago!
Fishing lessons around Chicago this Spring & Summer for 2009! Our club is a great place to learn to fish Chicago waters and the Chicago suburban waters. Chicago Fishing School offers fishing lessons to all levels of anglers as well as guided fishing sessions and club fishing events all over the Chicago area. Remember last year how you didn't catch fish near home? We promise to put you on a lot of fish as well as big fish right near your home within 20 minutes of Chicago in parks, forest preserves and park district ponds.
Chicago Fishing School remember those hours out trying to catch a bass and end ending up only with a few small fish. How about 100 fish and a couple of 4 lb. fish the next time you go out? Fishing events featuring instruction, demonstrations and timed fishing derbies will help you learn methods not shown on TV and not in books. An average day fishing for our club members fishing on public waters of Chicago's suburbs, will probably be better than your entire month fishing. Join our fishing club or find out where to take our fishing seminars and catch more or larger fish guaranteed! Click Here

Catching fish using our methods will make you deadly at landing big game fish in Minnesota, Wisconsin & Canada - or anywhere you might go.
The techniques I learned in Chicago from a fishing teacher and master US Angler, helped me to personal bests landing huge walleye, blue fin tuna, carp, northern pike, king salmon, channel catfish and rainbow trout that I might have lost. With local Chicago fishing practice, help me hook up with more fish and help me to land many more fish. My teacher, Mick Thill added skills to my game the first time out in which I hooked and landed 5 straight 4 - 6 lb. fish in the period of an hour without losing a single fish.
