I had heard a couple times now that coffeen power plant got bought and is opening back up.
Has anyone else heard this rumor or is it all just junk talk?

Not true. Wishful thinking by the hardcore fishermen who inundate the lake all winter. I heard that property was going to be sold on the lake to build houses so it will be similar to Vandalia lake in the future.

I figured as much. Hope the lake ends up being ok
Did Coffeen freeze over?
I doubt it froze over but I imagine a lot of the coves were covered. The geese and ducks help keep it open
Enjoying life in Southern Illinois
It was mostly froze back in that cold snap in november. I was at my camper the other day and it was just the coves
Has any body heard of any fish being caught recently ? If there is open water I am sure someone has been out . Supposedly a ton of shad died and the catfish were feeding on them .
Drove out today. Protected coves are still froze. Ramp was open. The snow geese have claimed it. If you put a boat in you better have a rain suit on haven't heard anything about the fish
