: : I recently purchased an inflatable pontoon boat and now can't find a lake in DuPage/Cook that allows inflatable boats. Does anyone know where I can go to fish with it?

: Not familiar with inflatables. Sturdy enough for river fishing? Could take it on the DesPlaines or the I & M canal. May need a state boat resistration, and of course a motor!
I discovered this problem some time ago, and rarely use mine. All the forest preserves prohibit inflatables, regardless of quality. The state waters are okay, though I think you now need a license for even small boats. I used mine in Turner Lake at the Chain of Lakes state park years ago. Rivers running through forest preserves are also out. Check out Wisconsin. And let me know. TT
