Either rotation or there are generally less places stocked in the fall vs. the spring. In the past, I believe Dupage and many other counties funded a fall stocking, but Cook did not. I see that's not the case as Cook has a few lakes stocked now in the fall. Mostly lakes on the north end. Probably out of favoritism as the Cubs are better and more iconic than the White Sox.

Usually state stocks in spring. Counties stock in fall. Two different ententies, usually a few different sites, not entirely the same as in spring and fall.

Cook county stocks horsetail- not sure about the quarries. After missing out on steelhead, the chinook won't bite and I won't snag so the rainbow trout are a nice consolation prize

Good thing the state of Illinois stocks rainbow trout since they are a fun species of fish to target. Caught a bunch of nice trout last October including a beautiful palomino trout (golden rainbow trout). I released all the trout I caught and would consider visiting Illinois or another state to fish for trout again.
