Someone told me that it was owned by allied waste management but it doesnt seem to be used for dumping purposes. This pond is huge.

I ran into a local at Lynn Lane reservoir the other night and apart from him telling me the history of fishing at that location he noted that on 61st street way out east they were going to be building another reservoir soon. That's not what you are seeing though, he said that was a strip pit. I didn't ask him who owned it though.



I caught quite a few small crappie Sunday morning and I went out their Saturday night and caught one that was about 12" long. I put him back since I didn't have any more that size to keep company.

I was using some Bobby Garland stroll'rs in the mo-glo color and fishing in front of the spillway where the break in the current is. They were about 4' deep or so there.
