Fished Evergreen Lake near Hudson Illinois and the Crappie Population is phenomal. The size is a little to be desired. Trolled Crankbaits across flats and the points and tore 'em up. Lots of fish in the 8 - 9" range, but the little guys must be on steroids, cuz the backs are thick.

Only issue with that lake is it's $12.00 per day for launch fee. That's correct,$12.00. They ought to post a sign that says, we really don't want anyone to fish this lake.

You would think it would be no charge for the taxpayers of McLean County to put their boats on.
