yes Shangri-La is public.

Lake has been weird the last few years. This was the worst ice fishing season I have ever had on Shangri-La. During the summer the bite is still just as good as it has always been. 3 & 4lbs bass aren't that hard to find. Planning on getting out to Delavan and Geneva a few times this summer. Getting the new boat is really going to make this a fun summer!

I am really looking forward to going. Gonna take the new boat and already have a campsite reserved right on the waters edge where we can beach the boat right at our site. Should be a great weekend trip!

Browsing the site for awhile it looks like some great people and content. Looking forward to learning a lot more and hopefully contributing whenever possible. I have been fishing my entire life(43 years) since I grew up on a lake my family bought when I was 1 month old. This year will be my best fishing year ever since my GF and I just purchased a new bass boat. All my life till now we have owned ski and pontoon boats. We have already got a few trips planned with the boat to Northern WI and down to Missouri. Can't wait for the boat to arrive and hit the lake!

New to the forums but glad to see such an active IL section! From Buffalo Grove but have a house on a small lake just across the boarder in Bristol. Fish year round but really excited for this season because GF and I are getting a brand new Tracker Pro 175 TXW. Boat has arrived at Cabelas just waiting for it to be checked out and for them to tell me I can come pick it up!! GF works at the Cabelas part-time and I actually work at BPS part-time. Really excited because we got the boat we already have a few trips planned for this summer. Going to Lacrosse, WI in June to camp and watch the Bass Elites compete then will be heading down to BPS Springfield, MO to check it out and fish and camp on Table Rock for a week. Should be an awesome summer! Looking forward to meeting, learning and contributing with everyone. Looks like a great forums!
