Hello everyone.
I have a fully cycled 75 gallon planted tank with coontails, driftwood, rocks and plenty of hiding places. I live in DuPage County and I am interested in stocking this tank with some beautiful native fish. I had considered Northern Long-ear Sunfish, or Orange spotted sunfish, but I am also interested in warmouth and shadow bass. I have a Tenkara rod and a few nets. Is anyone familiar with my neck of the woods and do you have any suggestions for targeting these species in my area? I am willing to drive up to an hour and a half.
