It’s a man made structure, but there’s plenty of opportunities along the vast shore line for some great fishing. Whether it be teasing the decent sized bluegills or ripping a nice bass from the deep, it’s always fun at the meer. I’ve seen plenty of fly fishers also, since there are areas with no trees blocking your path.
Two good ponds to fish at here, one on the main driveway offers multiple cutouts in the brush and the other pond is surrounded by a fish able trail. Lots of fun and very productive in early summer when crappie move inshore to spawn, a flashy spinner always seems to do the trick. I’ve also caught big bass on creature baits and worms right from the back. #fishbrain challenge
