great time!

Lake Michigan is pretty quiet, but you can still start the year off with a bang by focus your attention along the lakefront and around the harbors. Perch, Panfish, Salmon, and Trout are biting!

Chicago's lakefront and harbors remain the best place to cast a line during this month. Wrap up warm, grab your rods and reels, and you could find anything from Trout, to Salmon, to Panfish at the end of your line.

The action on Lake Michigan is heating up! The Steelhead spawning run has begun, so you'll find 'em in the lake, joined by Lake Trout. Head to the Chicago River and you'll encounter Largemouth Bass and Panfish.

Salmon and Trout enthusiasts, rejoice! The section of Lake Michigan between Chicago and Waukegan is bustling with Coho and Rainbow varieties. Head to the harbours, lakefront, or hop aboard a charter.

This time of year offers up some of the most exciting angling action around, along the river, on the lake, and in the lagoons. Coho Salmon, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Panfish, Perch...who knows what you'll hook into!

Head to Lake Michigan and you'll encounter huge Coho, as well as King Salmon. Lake Trout reach an impressive size here, too. On the Chicago River, Panfish are a popular catch, and Bass reign supreme in the lagoons.

This is the time to hit Chicago's lakefront if you're looking for tackle-busting King Salmon! They're joined by Trout varieties. The river is bustling with Bass and Panfish, and so are the lagoons.

Huge Chinook Salmon are plentiful on Lake Michigan in this month, and are joined by their smaller (but no less fiercer!) cousins, Coho. Bass are still available along the river and in the lagoons.&nbsp;

Lake Trout are lurking along the reefs in Lake Michigan, and Chinooks and Steelhead can still be hooked. The Chicago River is inhabited by Crappie, Bluegill, and Bass varieties.&nbsp;

Brown and Lake Trout swarm Lake Michigan. King Salmon are also in the cards. Perch can also be hooked, so bring the kids along and teach 'em the magic of fishing this Great Lake. Bass are still plentiful in the river.

The action on Lake Michigan starts to calm down, but you can still hook into Steelhead and Salmon varieties. Bass varieties and Panfish lurk the lagoons and the Chicago River.

End your year in the right way by heading out on a Chicago fishing trip! Steelhead and Lake Trout are still active along the lakefront. If the waters around the harbors are frozen, try your hand at ice fishing for Perch.&nbsp;
