Back years ago, when I was a kid. We used to go to Burnside get on the nature trail and walk all the way to the railroad tracks. We would go down the tracks another half-mile or so and take another trail that led to a couple of other oxbow lakes. These were so hard to get to that they were rarely fish. We came out with stringers of bream and bass most every time. We would put our stringers of fish into a homemade Fish sack and dip it into the water to keep them wet for the long hike out. No matter what time we got home we always cleaned The fish right away and would have a great big fish fry.
