I guess putter boating is better than none. It might be a fisherman's
delight, though.

Can you raise your OB and drop your trolling motor in that area?

I wouldn't see why not. But i think it states that the lake is divided
where in one section is for 'anything but gas' propulsion only.

Shabbona Lake in central IL is a 10HP lake. *From what I have heard, you
can't launch and use a boat with a larger motor and a 9.9 kicker even if
that is the only motor you will use.

Shabona is in northern/ central *IL. around DeKalb if I remember
corectly, and it's small. I think it's only about 400 acres, but don't
quote me on that. I can understand the smaller lakes having hp
restrictions.

It's not but about 20 miles from me, but I think the Sam Dale park
lake Johnsonville IL has a 10hp max on it too. But it's a really small
lake of about 200 acres. * It's a fishing lake and that's about it.

I think there's some public lakes around central/southern IL, that are
trolling motor only, though.

Can you fish those lakes with the gas motor up and only the trolling
motor used? *It would be tough to retrieve the boat with a front troller!

I know you can at Johnsonville, But I'm not sure about any of the
others. Same Dale is about my extent for small lakes around here.
