Gone fishing: Tips on catching the big one in LCFPD and staffers' favorite spots
Nationwide, 3.1 million people fished for the first time in 2020 as a way to recreate responsibly during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation survey.
Fishing is allowed in any Forest Preserves waterway, unless a sign prohibiting it has been posted. Waterbody sizes vary, from the 2-acre Rubber Duck Pond at Grant Woods near Ingleside to the 129-acre lake at Independence Grove. Several preserves offer fishing piers. You can also rent fishing boats, canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and pedal boats seasonally at the Independence Grove Marina.
