Busse seems to be holding on, saw lots of active fish and good catch numbers Fri. Of course bets are off after another weekend's crowds...

Dam 2,700lbs at Busse?????? That's double the amount I've seen over all the years at other Cook County lakes.

Just found this.. The Forest Preserves is stocking approximately 1,000 pounds at Horsetail Lake, while the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is providing and stocking 850 pounds of rainbow trout at Sag Quarry (east side); 2,700 pounds at Busse Reservoir(north pool); 1,255 pounds at Axehead Lake; 1,000 pounds at Belleau Lake; and 667 pounds at Green Lake. These are catchable sized rainbow trout, in the .5 -1 lb. size range. Rainbow trout are stocked in the spring at Axehead Lake, Belleau Lake and Sag Quarry - East and in the fall at Axehead Lake, Belleau Lake and Horsetail Lake.

Kinda makes you wonder where they got the money for this don't it?

Comes from the trout stamp privilege you pay for with the fishing license.

Wow! 2700 lbs of ½ and 1 pounders, got to be well over 4000 trout!

With all the rain today, I wonder how many are making it over the dam right now into the Main. The flow over the north dam has got to be pretty good right now, and will continue for a day or so :think:

The Busskie, Pike, Eye's, Bass and Cat's are gonna eat good over the fall and winter
