Clinton Lake Thawing

Spring weather has arrived a little earlier than normal to central Illinois and it is thawing Clinton Lake, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to get on the water.

 

DNR Conservation Police Acting Captain John Williamson says if you're getting out for the first time, give your boat and equipment a once over so you avoid any issues.

 

 

Parts of Clinton Lake are still cold but there is, of course, the warm water discharge and Capt. Williamson indicates you can get up to the DeWitt Bridge but you cannot cross under. However, he points out that warm water does spill over so fishing is very good in that part of the lake.

 

 

Captain Williamson also points out Weldon Springs State Park has been a bevy of activity and called it a hidden gem in DeWitt County. We'll have more with Capt. Williamson in the days ahead about the exclusive trout fishing program that Weldon Springs offers.
