Perch fishing on the Chicago lakefront leads this sprawling raw-file Midwest Fishing Report, otherwise it is waiting on ice (except well to our north, where they are already ice fishing). But there are some other things, too, such as steelhead, brown trout and lake trout as well as burbot on the lakefront to keep things interesting.
Jim Shell and his son Casey experienced their first burbot on Saturday and sent the photo at the top.
