Thread: Any One Heard Of/fished Lake Anderson

My title is my question: Has anyone heard of, and fished, Lake Anderson, near Astoria, Illinois? I take a fishing trip every year and we aren't able to go to any of our usual spots due to one of our group having a baby around that date. So, we don't want to go too far in case something starts to happen. Please send me any info you can, or any help you can.

Thanks,

i was there once its a shallow swamp basically caught a few small bass catfish and drum, didnt find many crappie, bout all i know of it.

I've known friends that have done well there fishing for bass. That whole area has been flooded most of this year being close to the Illinois river and the amount of water we've had.

This link will give some info:

Full of bull heads, not crappie. If you are in that area I believe Banner Marsh holds fish.
