I think one of the bank fishing organizations maybe CBA has a match there and got some mostly carp and gills. Dosen't mean there isn't any species in there just what there bag was mostly of that day.

 

Ok, smitty if the lake you refer to is Volceing or something close to that, they caught carp and bullhead with the biggest bag of fish weight of 46lbs of mostly carp. The biggest fish of the day was caught while using tutti-frutti flavored corn no joke.

 

I fish there all the tame mostly carp and bullhead medium sized carp some get really big on southern part....but dont fish there i always find dead ducks and like dead stuff there its gross. I top water fish off the docks in summer on the northern lake on a good day you could get about 10 carp in an hour and maybe lose 1 that swims under the dock(lost allot that way)Worth fishing if you like carp though

 

NEVER FISHED THOSE TO BODIES OF WATER. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY CATCH FISH THERE. HOWEVER THE PARK DISTRICT PONDS AND SUBDIVISION PONDS ARE HOME TO SOME GOOD SIZE FISH. HARD PART IS NOT LETTING THE LOCATIONS OUT. I'VE CAUGHT LMB UP TO 7 LBS AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT A 34 INCH PIKE OUT OF THESES LITTLE HONEY HOLES. TRY THE PONDS ALONG WALNUT NORTH AND SOUTH OF SCHAUMBURG ROAD.

I've fished the ponds on Walnut quite a bit. I was wondering about the pond on Schaumburg rd because I could take the kids ice fishing off of the docks without having to worry about the ice conditions.

Only carp, bullhead and few small blue gills in volkening. I've never caught anything big local, and thats all i fish. I cant go anywhere on my bike

 

volkening lake

Just another note about Volkening Lake

I'm pretty sure when they drained the lake by the Schaumburg municipal center a year or 2 ago they took the fish and released them in volkening lake. I've never fished there so I don't exactly know how the fish re-acted to the move..

i dont think they put those fish in volkening...theyed die right away in that water...

 

well FINFIDDLER. I am sorry but im gonna tell u that your wrong. they didnt drain the whole pond just enough to do the stones and new fountain. And also i pull 5-12lb carp out of Volkening lake all day. You just dont know how to fish for them there. During the summer ill challenge u to a carp tourniment. And ill teach u how to catch them at volkening. You will be suprised how big and how maby there are in that lake. :wink:
And for the ponds on walnut u must be talking about Walnut and Weathersfield. That pond is not any good, and neither is Grey Farm Park. which is on walnut.

 

im not sure about 12 lbers all day i find that hard to believe i fish there and they usually mac out at about 5 but i get alot of them how do you fish for them?

 

Wow!! You should join one of the bank anglers clubs if your that good. 2

 

Yeah, I see people fish in there all the time when it's warmer out. I never fished it, but I would guess mostly small bullheads and sunfish, with maybe a few small bass. Still a bit cold, but you will start seeing people out there.
