Anyone know any good and legally catchable populations of these in NE IL? I'm around the Chicago area, it seems like this species is spotty and not easily found. Maybe some locals know some good places to find them?

Where do you see that? http://dnr.state.il....fish/topmin.htm does not list it. Only lists the banded killifish as threatened. I've seen it listed as threatened on older lists, but I don't see it on the DNR site. Same here http://dnr.state.il....ish/species.htm

Hopefully they are going to be taken off the list, but I would make sure before I tried to collect any.
