This is a hidden gem of Lake County. Boat rental place is now open. Take you kids to fishing--if not boating.

not to sound like i am here just to contradict you, but you are partially right about Independence Grove. It is a gem. But it is in no way hidden. Nearly everyone who fishes the Chicago area had been waiting for a long time for this place to open last year. And, under assumption, I doubt anyone was disappointed. But indeed you have stumbled yourself on one of the finest lakes. Let's hope the catch & release policy stays in effect and makes this a place to be fished for many years. Lake County FP did a great job with this site. I like it so much, I'm getting married there in June.

I saw people fishing with crankbaits and not having much luck. Try the live baits--it works better at this place.

Pre-rigged plastic worms fished slowly have worked well for me at IG. Live bait has worked even better. Every time I post about IG I make the same comment, so I'll be consistent. I'd love to see them keep this lake C & R only. If you see people keeping fish, throw them in the water (the people and the fish).

Where is Independance grove located at?

It is located on buckley rd(rt 137), just west of I-294 in Libertyville. In Lake County.

Some actions in the northwest pond. Generally slow.
