Cross lake is a great fishing lake that hurdles the Illinois/Wisconsin border. The lake contains panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike, as well as carp and some channel cat. The reason to fish this lake has always been the LMB. They are abundant and when targeting them it is not uncommon to go out and catch 10+ bass in a couple hour trip. Over the past two seasons the pike population has grown, and they are a rather common fish in the lake now, with several trophy fish roaming the waters. The past couple of years there have been rumors of a small muskie population as well, and although some have had stories about them, there have not been many recorded catches in the lake.
The lake is rather shallow, but there are some points in which it drops off to nearly 30' where you might find some of the fish in the warmer summer months. There are several weed beds that consistently produce fish, start at the beaches and go in either direction and you won't be disappointed.
If you are fishing here, practice catch and release and keep this lake a great place to fish for years to come.
