Anyone fished it since its been refilled. I haven't been there in 4 years. I went down there over the weekend, and they have it done up real nice. New wooden fishing peirs at the launch and new benches at the headquarters for fishing from. I talked to the conservation officer on staff there and he said that it has been full since last august and the restocked it in november. So its been about 14 months since its been restocked. They recovered 22000 fish befor they drained it and put them in a temporary holding pond, these fish were then transported back to the main lake after it was refilled. The rapant carp population has been taken care of, and only game fish were reintroduced. (crappie, bass, bluegill, channel cats) Anyway I cant wait to try and fish it this spring/summer.
There are also some new limits for the first couple of years. Panfish:25 and 2 bass over 18 inches
Also, they now only have 20 boats for rental, instead of the previous 200. Mistreatment of public boats lead to the disposal of a lot, and the state would not fund replacements.

Just got back from there today with my buddy. We each caught about a dozen small bass on white spinner baits. Two of them were caught on those green nightcrawlers with a bobber. Nothing to brag about. All the fish were in that 7-11 inch range. Still fun to catch though.
Oh ya, make sure you pay attention to where you are fishing. We each got a warning form the freindly conservation officer for fising off the bank where the dam is located. Ooops. LOL, we were so into fishing that we just worked our way form the headquarters around the shoreline towards the dam. Didn't even see the sign that is posted

Caught 4 more bass today. still small ones. I think in a few years time, this place will be awsome for bass.
