This lake is great for fishing. It’s $5 per person to enter and you are allowed to keep 6 fish. There are bass, catfish, and Bluegills. However, some of the animals here have their quirks. For example, there is this one turtle that will chase your bobber like a dog fetching a ball. He will then proceed to play with it. And even the fish are weird. I caught 2 bluegill who when released back into the water would swim on their side. Overall the lake is a good spot but I do recommend you stay far away from any turtles that are obsessed with bobbers. I named him Dave by the way.
