Fishing near Romeoville, Illinois

Romeoville, Illinois, sits in Will County. It is the sort of town where the water is closer than the shops. The near ones first: Lake Strini (0.5 miles) to the west, Rock Lake (1.9 miles), Blackhawk Pond (3.8 miles) to the north, Goose Lake (4.5 miles) followed by Lake Plainfield (5.5 miles) to the south-west. Goose Lake is the one to try when the water elsewhere is coloured. Whether a lid forms depends on the year. Never walk out on it without checking yourself. Flat, standing water makes up the choice. The shady bank fishes long after the sunny one dies. The nearest of them, Lake Strini, covers about 4 acres. Lake Strini is the easiest to reach with a car. Expect the lakes here to open about mid March. Across Will County, recorded fish include common carp, green sunfish, threadfin shad and bluegill. Rules here are Illinois rules, whatever the water looks like....
