Since its only 10 minutes from the house I spend a fair amount of time on it. I have chased a crippled duck till they said I was a speck on the horizon and only been knee deep in it. The lake is insanely shallow. Its also the only lake I have been sunk into the mud up to my crotch. The log jam has cut the lake off from the river. The white bass don't really go up the Neosho anymore. Crappie don't either. Heck when I was a kid we could catch the occasional walleye in the river near Neosho Rapids. Eagle creek has silted the mouth closed making it more like an oxbow. Times have sure changed in this area.
