Super spot for saugeye
The two saugeye ranging from 23 to 25 inches actually came from the tailrace below Bear Creek Lake. But Nick Coe knows where they really came from.
“The lake could produce something close to a state record in a couple of years,” Coe said. “I have no doubt there’s some really good fish there.”
The impoundment in the southwest suburbs perhaps is best known for an occasional tiger muskie, smallmouth bass and stocker rainbow trout. But a plant five years ago of saugeye – a hybrid of walleye and sauger – could change the emphasis.
