We fished them for about half an hour, with only little fish to show for our efforts. There were some older people fishing the railroad tracks for gills and pulling in some decent ones. There were brown weeds all over the lake due to a recent weed kill. All of our fish came out of water that was anywhere from 2-10 foot deep. It would be a good lake to take a youngster to get them started, but not for tournament fishing. Right now I wouldn't reccomend it.
