Lutticken Lake in Tazewell County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Lutticken Lake is listed under Tazewell County, Illinois. This is pine and birch ground. At about 44 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. A shoreline of some 1.5 miles keeps the choices simple. The nearest town is Marquette Heights, 2.4 miles away. Further out sit North Pekin (2.9 miles) and Pekin (3.1 miles). It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Lutticken Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Records held for Tazewell County cover common carp, white perch, goldfish and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Lutticken Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 23°F to 76°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Once it clears, about mid March, the fishing comes on quickly. The open-water window runs from around mid March to about late December in an average year. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect Lutticken Lake to follow that timing.
