Friends of Lake Antioch

To maintain proper health and balance in our fishery, we must pay close attention to the prescribed fishing limits of our lake.  These limits are based on studies which show the current fish population and comparative sizes that are appropriate for a lake of our size.  Below is a summary of the catch limits.

​

PLEASE NOTE: In recent fish surveys, we’ve noticed a reduction in large Bluegills (9” or larger).  Therefore, it is critical to release all Bluegill 9”or larger because these “Bulls” naturally guard the bluegill nests and ensure a healthy Bluegill population.

​

Daily Limit: 15 (combined)

• Bluegill

• Crappie

​​

Catch & Release:

• Largemouth Bass

• Muskie

• Northern Pike

• Lake Perch

​

Remove from the lake:

• Yellow Bass

• White Bass

• Common Carp
