It’s a beautiful lake for sure and only 6 miles from my house. When it first opened limits were easy. The last several years catching has become increasingly difficult. It’s still fished hard which doesn’t help. I gave up on it for awhile. Calling Panther and Percy Quinn aren’t far and are good alternatives.

Have read that the way the lake was built didn't give it much spawning potential for it's size. Not enough shallow water. Can't support good bream numbers, and now has crappie in it making things worse. People still catch it's just not near what it should be.

It was jam up when it first opened. Limits every time. Word spread quick and it was just fished out. Has never been able to recover. As another poster said I don't think there is enough shallow water there. I do know they constructed a lot of beds for bream.
