No other lakes really that close. It has trout, bluegill, catfish , and all species of bass. A few crappie have been in the lake for years and years. But, all i have seen caught were tiny ones, and not very many. like i mentioned tho, that was years back. I think i will go SUnday afternoon and longline for a while. See what happens anyway. There is a great shallow flat just off the river on the upper end. Lots of bass spawn back in there. Im sure the crappie will have to be in there using it now. Or at least after the 4 days of warm weather starting tomorrow.
