What is Songbird Lake and what activities are available?

Accepted Answer

Songbird Lake, located in DuPage County, Illinois, is a 15 acre lake that was excavated and added to the Songbird Slough with a maximum depth of 19 feet and an average depth of 8.5 feet. The northern side of the lake is open to fishing while the southern portion is designated as a bird sanctuary. Anglers visiting the lake can catch bluegill, carp, largemouth bass, and yellow bass. The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County (FPDDC) owns and maintains this lake, as well as 29 other lakes and ponds in the area, for sport fishing purposes.

The sport fishery of Songbird Lake is under the management of the FPDDC Fishery Ecologist to provide quality fishing opportunities. In 1984, a cooperative management agreement was entered into between the FPDDC and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to facilitate management activities. The most recent survey in 2014 found an overabundance of Yellow Bass and Common Carp in the lake. In response, regular stocking of Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and Channel Catfish is carried out to manage the fish populations. Additionally, the FPDDC has installed several fish attracting structures in the lake to further promote fishing opportunities.

In recent years, the FPDDC has undertaken removal efforts to manage the overabundant Carp and Yellow Bass populations. Six active removal efforts have been carried out since 2018, successfully removing over 1,100 pounds of Carp and over 525 individual Yellow Bass. The FPDDC plans to continue this annual or bi-annual removal effort as an experimental project to manage the fish populations in the lake. The management efforts of the FPDDC have helped maintain a healthy and sustainable sport fishery at Songbird Lake, making it an ideal location for anglers in the DuPage County area.
