I was there last Sunday. beautiful day for LaSalle. unfortunately the fish didn't agree. I remember when opening weekend meant 100-200 fish. anyway, I caught two largemouths. that's it. not many people on the lake and only one guy caught a fish. I have fished this lake for more than 40 years and I think I'm done. lake just seems to get worse every year.
Agree
I've been thinking about heading down there for a day.

How about that 72# Blue the guy caught on shore last week. There is a picture in the Chicago sun times(outdoors-Dale Bowman) and a video of him struggling down the Rocks with the fish to release him.
Would love to run into a cat that big. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/...-lasalle-lake/
I haven't been there in 5 or 6 years. It's really fallen off that much?Originally Posted by 3dees
yeah, I can't figure it out. the lake has gotten worse ever since they shut the plant down for two years for maintenance. the fish didn't just leave but I have no idea where they are. I used to catch 10 smallies for every lm. now it's rare to get a sm over 10 inches, if at all.
I live VERY close to LaSalle and I have quit going there. The lake has had some huge fish kills from a several bouts of really hot water. Yes even on the south side. I would guess from the hot summers we have had the last few years.
Lots of small channel cats 6 to 10 inches can be caught on shad guts. Not for me !
Bingo...this is exactly what happened.
