Time will only tell.Red tape and money always screws up a good plan.

if they reopen will they stock with bass? how does it work

My grandpa used to take me there as a kid. The trout fishing on mini jigs was off the hook whenever we went. This is where I learned how to fish jigs... Heard there was decent bass and cats also. Never tried though..

Been wondering about the same thing. Why did the lake close in the first place? The big fish pot was always fun to enter on Saturdays during the trout season. Me and my friends won it a few times. A little extra cash to take home was nice.

yeah me too...I remember when there was a swimming hole there too...this was in the late 70's. That was my and my dad's go-to spot.

I guess it was leased out by the Water Dept and they said the liability wasn't worth the money...that's what the old caretaker told me.

I sure hope this little lake re-opens. I fished there for a couple years just before it was shut down. Great place to take the kids to learn how to fish.
