Levings Lake is a reservoir in Winnebago County, Illinois. Levings Lake covers about 26 acres and holds about 121 acre-feet.
Levings Lake was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Levings Lake include bluegill, common carp, and largemouth bass. Stocking records for Levings Lake also list channel catfish and bluegill and largemouth bass, though that does not mean those fish will be easy to catch on every trip.
For bass at Levings, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Levings, fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For bottom fishing at Levings, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.
On a first trip to Levings, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring around Levings is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Levings can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
