Wow! I know this is an old post but that just tells me that there has to be some big eyes down there! I gonna have to check beck out by boat, do you know what time the gates open?
As Beck Lake is a Cook County Forest Preserve Lake the gate are supposed to be open from sunrise till sunset. They are pretty good about getting them open early.
I've talked to some pretty credible sources about Beck Lake and have only heard of sporadic reports of walleye. And I myself, have never caught one or witnessed one caught. But people swear they are in there. Though I usually fish for bass, i'm thinking of picking up some leeches and Lindy-rigging them along some drop-offs/channels, etc., to try for some walleye myself.
the gates are not open on a consistent basis. i've waited up until 6:45 last week and was pissed so i went to the glen instead. hello...sunrise is like 5:15 these days. sometimes they don't even close the gates at night.
