Can anyone tell me what day Heidecke closes for fishing for the year?
Can anyone tell me what day Heidecke closes for fishing for the year?
"Heidecke Lake opens each year on April 1st, weather permitting, and closes 10 days before waterfowl season opens."

I would think the last fishing day is Oct 13 as the waterfowl season starts Oct 24th for that area according to the pdf and it closes 10 days prior to opening day.
I have the 13th marked in my phone as last chance to fish Heidecke.

I called earlier, I was told October either 6th or 8th, I can’t remember which, will be the last day to fish Heidecke.
Early closing is a possibility with the current pandemic and man power situation.I called earlier, I was told October either 6th or 8th, I can’t remember which, will be the last day to fish Heidecke.
They used to start posting on site reminder notices of the closing date a week or two before but who knows this year.
Here ya go.
Looks like they are closing 1 week early this year rather than the standard 10 days from the waterfowl season start date.
Budget maybe??
Who knows with Illinois.
