The Illinois Smallmouth Alliance (ISA) was founded in 1994 by a group of dedicated anglers concerned about the future of the smallmouth fishery in the Land of Lincoln.Thety are an organization of catch and release anglers helping to preserve the smallmouth bass and its habitat through education and conservation. Participation in the ISA is a great way to keep a finger on the pulse of the latest techniques and concerns regarding smallmouth bass in Illinois.Smallmouth bass can be found in nearly every body of moving water in the state as long as habitat is available. Illinois is also home to several trophy smallmouth lakes. However, even with all the wonderful fishing opportunities around, Illinois is not without its share of problems. Overharvest, pollution, agricultural runoff, and habitat degradation are all major issues we face everyday. Enter the ISA! It's their job as members to tackle these problems head-on. MISSION: To Protect, Preserve, Educate, and Enhance.Protecting by working with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources since 1997 to reduce the harvest of smallmouth bass by half in our rivers and streams and also protecting spawning fish with a closed season state-wide.Preserving by enabling our members and others through our Conservation Grant program to complete projects critical to river and stream habitat throughout Illinois.Educating other anglers on just how fragile our fisheries are through seminars, and on the water through educational signs and also educating by example.Enhancing the available habitat for smallmouth bass through cleanups, habitat restorations, and by working with other environmental groups to address pollution and other issues that impact our waterways. |
