Set in Illinois, United States, Saganashkee Slough is a reservoir that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area.

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 Channel catfish

  Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.

• For Green sunfish

  Green sunfish often hold near structure, so target areas like submerged logs, docks, and weed beds. Use light tackle for a more sporting experience.
