Virginia Shu, 4, Eleanor Shu, 2, and Adam Shu of Glenview watch their fish swim out to the big Lake on Fish Release Day a way for kids and their families to get their hands into nature. All ages took part, hundreds lining up to fill their live fish buckets at the Lake Glenview Boat Launch in Gallery Park Saturday at 12:30 p.m., participants one by one sending their fish down a metal chute into the Lake, all part of the springtime tradition to restock Lake Glenview.

Robyn Flakne, natural resources manager for the Village of Glenview says as far as lakes go, Lake Glenview is still very young and a developing ecosystem. “About 2,000 smaller fish, black crappie and fathead minnows were released Saturday, in support of serving the food web, and helping different populations of organisms by eating insects and plankton and serving as a food source to larger fish,” Flakne said. The fish were sourced from Keystone Hatcheries in Wisconsin.

Lake Glenview abides by all catch and release guidelines imposed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
