Hi Anglers,I was by Maple Lake and it's getting a face lift.A new Bait & Boat house is under construction,looks great.Now they need to put more fish in that lake.

That's good to see. I haven't been there in 20 years.

Gregg, did you notice all the construction going on next door at bullfrog ? The forest preserve is building rental cabins along bullfrog. The new sign at the entrance says camp bullfrog. I have been fishing at maple steadily over the past 5-6 years and have seen the bass fishing decline steadily. How about you ? The place draws all the bucket and picnic people from the city on the weekends who leave the shoreline looking like a landfill come monday morning.

Which is WHY I haven't been there in 20 years....

I havent been to maple or bullfrog in a few years. Before I got into bass fishing heavily I saw a few 4-5lb fish but never landed any. As stated above those lakes draw in the biggest bucket crowd. At my baitshop we normally direct people out that way to do bluegill fishing. Ive been meaning to try it during the summer with a kayak or something but never bought one.
