    Fishing was good. Fished Tuesday with my son who turned 14 that day and we caught a nice mess. Went back Wednesday with him and his sister (11) and brother (8). We cleaned another nice mess and had a blast fishing together. Was a little worried that we didn't have any live bait for the younger two, but that didn't matter. They caught just as many fish as we did using a jig under a cork and fished right along side of us with jig poles! Very impressed with their ability to adapt and learn! Lake is about 2.5 feet low, but they are supposedly done lowering it and are ready for rain to bring it back up.

    Anybody know if the boat ramps to Lincoln Trail lake are open? I have heard the restaurant is open, but the park is closed.

    Lincoln Trail ramps are closed.....DNR! They aren't even allowing walking, biking, mushroom hunting, etc. Pavilions, playgrounds, campgrounds....everything closed!

    Illinois declared marijuana sales and cultivation as "essential" (yes, it's in the declaration), and closed the state parks.

    One generates revenue.

    Reason given is the medicinal part but you know better.
