| La Salle Lake |
La Salle Lake is a man-made lake that covers over 2,000 acres.
The lake serves as a cooling lake for Commonwealth Edison's
La Salle Power Station. The lake is "perched" so the wind can
help to cool the impounded water. High winds can make this lake
very rough and even dangerous. Make sure to get a weather
report before you head out to La Salle Lake. The average depth
of the lake is 15 feet and there is usually a 20 degree water
temperature difference between the two channels. The rocky
shoreline provides some cover for a variety of species.
La Salle Lake has a good population of Smallmouth bass, white
bass, hybrid striped bass and catfish. Walleye, and largemouth
bass can also be caught in this lake.
