Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
September 8 First visit by Rick & Irma
One of the Rangers told us it was flooded and not much access for bank fishing. My wife Irma and I caught 6 largemouth in about 45 minutes. That was great!
August 25 Great time for boating
The lake is near full capacity and we are due for more rain so the lake is very good for boating.
