Lower Illinois River Hatch Chart?

[swellcat]

Anybody know of a hatch chart? I've searched some, and haven't turned one up.

Did find this for the Lower Mountain Fork area's Spillway Creek:

Are these hatches, by any chance, in the ballpark at all for the Lower Illinois?

There are bugs that just kinda pop out every now and again but never really a "hatch".

Not much of a dry fly fishery, then?

If you were going to tie on a dry for (mostly) an indicator, what would be your top choices for March and April?

Is Gore Landing one of the stocking locations?

Naw, mostly midges and such. During the summer of course we get terrestrials and such. Thats probably my favorite time to fish drys!

Humpy, Royal Wulff, Stimulators, stuff like that.

I believe I've heard that it is indeed one of the stocking locations. I don't know much about fishing there, other than that its really deep. We mostly fish for the striper down there. You can take a streamer and start throwing that out there and catch fish. Thats fun for me xP
