    Rock Run rookery report

    I just found out about this place as I was driving around with my dogs looking for a place to swim my labs. I haven't fished it yet. I have an 18' Ranger . Can I launch it there? I assume TM only. Can I power on the Trailer? Any pointers on starting to fish it. Places , baits ETC??

    Thanks guys

    TM only and you can power load from what I have been told from a guy in my club.

    Yeah, TM lake. Not sure if power loading is specifically allowed or banned.
    A chunk of the lake along Rt. 6 is inaccessible, protected rookery.

    I haven't actually fished it in several years, I was there this spring getting
    some graph issues straightened out. Lots of trash, as the lake is connected
    to the Desplaines river, what's in the river is in the lake.
    The FPD was looking for volunteers to clean it up.

    A few years ago they were trying to get the invasive species under control.
    IIRC they netted a significant number of asian carp, not sure what the status is now.
