On the Southeast corner of Butterfield Rd and Naperville Rd. there's a nice sized lake/pond. It's right across a strip mall. Looks like a forest preserve. But I've yet to see anyone fishing it. Is it fishable? Doesn't look like there's parking (from what i could see). Is it loaded with fish just waiting for a lure?...anyone have any idea as to it's name or fishability???
