Absolutely full of monster bass. This lake is hardly ever fished and the water is crystal clear. Its a aquifer fed lake so its extremely healthy and full of bass, gar, catfish, bream, and crappie. It is surrounded by private property, so you need permission to come in. Call up Camp Giliead and ask for permission. If there schedule is good, they might let you launch a boat on there ramp.
This is my home lake (I live on it), and it’s got a healthy amount of activity. It’s quiet, neighbors are friendly and courteous of bank anglers like myself, and has a mighty healthy population of big bluegill and spunky bass. Haven’t been to the farthest edges of it yet, but it’s beautiful from my spot!
