    Hi all. I know there are several power plant cooling lakes in Illinois. Does anyone know the names of these. I’ve got the bug bad and need to catch some bass. Any info is appreciated. Thanks– Rob

    One is Baldwin Lake in Baldwin,IL which is close to Belleville. Year round fishing and warm water. Two thousand acres. Suggest a Google search.
