| Location Details: | The West Okaw River is a tributary of the Kaskaskia River, which it joins in Moultrie County, Illinois. The West Okaw forms an arm of Lake Shelbyville where the natural rivers used to meet. The West Okaw is about 30 miles in length, as measured from the junction of the arms of Lake Shelbyville. This figure includes the drainage ditches, which extend the stream about eight miles above the natural channel. Launching facilities for small boats or canoes are located in the Okaw River Wildlife management area. These gravel ramps are utilized by fishermen during early spring when spawning runs of walleyes and white bass occur. Later in the summer, this area is a popular fishing spot for channel cat and carp. | ||||
