Quarry Lake near Naperville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Quarry Lake stands in DuPage County, Illinois. The bank is 702 feet above sea level. Small at around 4 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our DuPage County list holds plenty of bigger water. You are 1.1 miles from Naperville. The big place round here is Naperville, 1.2 miles distant. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Quarry Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. DuPage County records list bluegill, green sunfish and common carp among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Work Quarry Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 74°F and January about 22°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Break-up comes around mid March, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages suggest open water from about mid March through to roughly mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That shapes the year on Quarry Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public data flags this water as closed to fishing. Mapping shows parking within 160 yards. A pier or jetty stands 70 yards away, which helps on a crowded bank. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lake Osborne is 1.3 miles off.
