Leisure Lakes, Sangamon County, Illinois     User input for Leisure Lakes, Sangamon County, Illinois: Charles Cutrell: Leisure lake is a wondeerful place takin care of the fish in the lakes. The staff is very nice. My wife and I went on 6/19/09 and caught fish. Good luck fishing. lance flynn: I been fishing leisures lakes my entire life I'm  37 now and have always caught my limits on catfish. My entire family makes trips to the ponds. My biggest fish so far is a 30lb flathead, still hoping for all the 50plus pounds ones I have seen put in the ponds over the last 20 years and the good part is over 20lbs get put back in the ponds so everyone has a good chance to get the big one, most of what I catch is 3 to 8 lb. channel and flathead catfish. If you're looking for a great spot for a family fishing day, this is a place. You will always love. I hope it stays open for many more years to come. I look forward to taking my son there when he is old enough to fish. At least for now my son being 8 months old he gets to watch for now lol. Bill Swisher: When I think of Leisure Lakes I think of a great place to fish for good size catfish. The price you pay to use the lake is well worth it. Last year I caught three keepers that were 8 inches long. As I remember you can pay for either day of night fishing, but when I went I fished during the day. There is ample shade from trees and awnings. Of course the only problem with trees that provide shade is there is a potential problem with snagging your line against a tree limb. Overall though I would highly suggest fishing at Leisure Lakes in Springfield. There are two lakes you can fish in and you can drive your vehicle right up to the lakes. My Mom even drove her large RV through their road that wraps around the lakes. So go ahead and take the troops. You will have a better chance at catching a fish at Leisure Lakes than any other lake that I can think of in Central Illinois because the owners stock the lakes.
