Boneyard Creek cuts through Illinois, United States and offers classic stream fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades.

Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Bluegill
Fish near structure like docks, weeds, or submerged trees where bluegill seek cover and food.
- For Goldfish
Goldfish often feed near the bottom, so present your bait or lure accordingly. Use light line and small hooks to avoid spooking them.
