Braidwood, the cooling lake in southwestern Will County, should be ready, too. It was stocked with its usual largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass and blue catfish in 2020. “The lake has a standing annual request for all three species, so they’ll be stocked this year, and I haven’t requested any changes,” emailed Seth Love, district fisheries biologist. “For a few years, hybrid striped bass were not stocked due to a decline in the gizzard shad forage base. Braidwood will get surveyed this upcoming October [it’s on a biennial survey rotation with Heidecke Lake], so I’ll be keeping my eye on those gizzard shad numbers for the 2022 stocking season.”
