Illinois DNR Fishing And Boating Rules Enforcement
Make sure your boat is in compliance. Over the years there have been several occasions that the Illinois DNR was called out to to inspect boaters and fishermen. In many cases this resulted in substantial fines to our residents as either the boat was not registered with the IDNR, boat lacked the proper running lights for night operation, no PFD's were present on the boat and individuals did not have their fishing license. To have a happy, fun and safe boating experience for you and your guest make sure you are ready for any possible encounters. For further information to obtain a fishing license, fishing rules and regulations and register your boat on line click here. It's strongly recommended to read the Illinois fishing rules thoroughly before making your first cast to ensure you are in compliance. For the Illinois Boat Registration & Titling, click here.

Current Highland Lake Fishing Regulations and Guidelines
Please take a few minutes to read through these important fishing regulations and guidelines before you go out on the lake. Many fish are stocked in our lake each year by your board via our residents dues.
