    Clinton

    Going to be there towards the end of the month. Heard there is a lot more grass and pads in this lake now and the big fish population has been rebounding. Anyone been there lately?

    Do you think the improved grass growth is due to water clarity improvements? I haven't been to Clinton in a couple years...

    No, but the water clarity has improved as a result of the increased growth. The grass itself was strategically introduced by IDNR in 2016 and it (and the fish'n) has flourished.

    Let me know. I moved to Farmer City, so I'm only 5 mins away from the lake now.
