That lake is a ghost town now as far as having fishin it. They messed up that place big time.

that wha i thought and thanks for letting me know so i can tell my grandpa that its no longer a good place like he used to know it as. but it did have some awesome fihsing in it years years ago but once they drained that lake once too many its screwed up everything. so sad to see a great place go down the drain.

[wishin i was fishin]

yeah, you are right. i gave it a good go a few years back since it was so close. Its poo-poo now...

Tried to fish it a few months back it was too shallow to get in to the lake. It silts up bad at the launch. Don't know if the rains helped much. But from what I hear it wasn't worth fishing any way.

When is the last time they drained it?

Didn't they stock it recently or am I way off?

I fish there two years ago late July and August during the week for bream or sac a lait. The only thing that was biting was catfish. My friends and I tore them up. They were from half pound to two pounds. Our fishing setup was using a stopper and setting the hook 6 to 8 inches deep with worms. We caught all of them along the banks of the islands in the lake.
