Private Pond

Private pond

Trevi Gardens has a 1.3 acre pond stocked with fish. Residents are allowed to fish there and can keep the catch if they plan to eat it. This will be subject to change if the stock becomes depleted.

You must have a fishing license to fish in the Trevi Gardens pond. Please read this excerpt from the ifishillinois.org website:

Q: Do I need a fishing license to fish our subdivision’s private lake?

A: Yes. Many people believe that if they live in a subdivision with a lake, they are a landowner and exempt from having a fishing license. Unfortunately, this is not correct. Section 5/20-15 of the Illinois fish code (ILCS 515) specifically states that the landowner fishing license exemption “does not apply to club lakes, organizational lakes, or lake developments.”
