Pyramid State Park is an amazing place with hundreds of lakes to choose from. Southern Illinois used to be the home of strip mining for coal, but as they closed down the empty pits eventually filled up with water, and were stocked and turned into a huge park. Some of these pits are several miles long and over 100 feet deep. For more info just type in Pyramid State park illinois, or southern illinois strip pit fishing. You must email the dept of conservation for detailed maps, which also include species for each lake.
