It's basically a dammed up stream with a flowage area, another dam that you have to drag around and then the main pond which is about 100 acres. The main pond is covered in pads except for a stream channel near the dam. Cool area for a kayak.
Only problem is that they dropped the water to work on the dam and there's not much water left. LOL.
It made me wonder how much water depth is needed to grow big fish? 5'? If there's 3' of ice some years, can the fish live in 2' for a few months? Must be tough.
Anyway, there were fish around in the thickest, nastiest cover chasing the full-size King Daddy frog. I was throwing it way back in the thick stuff against steep shorelines. I couldn't even see the frog, so it was kind of hard to tell if I had a bite until the line started moving. Some of the thickest weeds/slop/brush that I've ever fished - it was almost like fishing on land. I kept wanting to stand up so I could see what I was doing.....but didn't feel like flipping in the bubble slime.
Best fish that I landed was only about 2 lbs or so....very dark. Most of the fish took a Yum Mighty bug (bama bug color) that I'd huck in there after they missed the frog (or I missed the fish).
Here's some pics...
