I caught a bass there yesterday and just after that, a person that said they own the lake and the parking lot drove up and told me I cannot fish there. I think he owns the Lakeside Diner. He was not rude but It was a short conversation because he wanted to keep his distance (COVID). He said he didn't want any fish taken from the lake. I said I only catch and release. He still said no. BTW, there are 2 no fishing signs that cannot be seen after the late spring bushes grow in. The shoreline on the South Side of the Lake is pretty littered. Many seem to stop by to smoke pot in their cars.
Overall for its size it’s probably one of the best body’s of water to fish I’ve found for bass and for how little they are damn do they fight and hit hard here they def need to start taking out the baby dink’s to allow for the other bass to get bigger soon cause as you can see some have been bigger than others but there is for sure competition for food at this point although every bass I’ve caught here is very healthy I have yet to come across one sickly skinny fish
