Libertyville Fishing Club was started in April of 1979. The club holds an
average of 18 club fishing outings a year in addition to the annual
banquet and summer picnic. The main focus of the club is to provide a
platform where members can share fishing knowledge with each other. Each
year the club will have speakers (Tournament fisherman or Guides) at
several meetings to talk about new techniques or tips on specific bodies
of water. The club provides for some competition
with the Fisherman of the Year contest. All members earn Fish Points for
fish they catch at club outings. They also earn participation points for
attending club meetings and outings. Prizes that include free dues for the
following year are awarded to the top three fishermen.
