The biggest issue for fishing is the amount of people riding water bikes. The really big positive to this lake is that there is HUGE fish in it. I’ve seen 10+ pound carp and 4+ pound bass, as well as 10 oz + Panfish. Expects the panfish to eat your worm off your hook tho cause there is tons of aggresive babies lol.
If you know what the fish like, this is a great lake to practice. You can also land some huge fish of different species. The only way to keep the lake in great condition is by practicing proper techniques and conservation of all species. As long as you're having fun, the opportunities are endless. I bring my grill with me and sometimes to a "Catch, Clean, Cook". It makes it like a fun challenge for me to get better at catching fish to eat. Definitely recommend this lake for a good time.
