Anybody fish this lake? I live three miles from there, but due to the bad water conditions, and the sketchy bite, I rarely fish there anymore. I have always lived a stone's throw from the lake, and have caught some really good Bass and Crappie over the years. The Game and Fish had originally set out to make this a trophy Bass fishery, but due to high levels of suspended clay in the water, and other things, samples started to show signs of overpopulation in Crappie, and for whatever reason, an unhealthy Bass population. So the plan was scrapped. From what I understand, they have been electrosampling there again, and are hopefully going to try and give it another shot at redemption. I would love to see this lake restored to its former glory.

BigBen is the Biologist for that district (I think). Might drop him a pm and ask if they been shocking there. I know there's some catfish out there. and I hear there's even some skurls across the levee.

Lots of places are sleepers just have reputation as dead seas. Be interesting to hear a report on shocking survey.

That is also the closest lake to me. 10 or so years ago I fished pickthorn 2 or 3 times a week for crappie even if for an hour or two before work. there are a couple ditches with structure on the north east side that ran out toward the middle that would always hold fish in the winter. about 6 years ago we got to where we couldn't catch fish in pickthorn so I stopped going. I've tried it 3 or 4 times a year since and have'nt had a good day in years. I don't think over population is a problem. Whatever the problem is I sure wish it would get corrected, even if the problem is me.
