Don't fish it much. Its small and was renovated a few years back. The bass clubs have put some brush piles in it to add some habitat, otherwise the main lake is pretty wide open. Seems to be a decent facility but I don't know much about the fishing lately.

I haven't fished there since last year but it can be a pretty good numbers lake for bass.

We went up on Sat, got there about 7am, beautiful day on the lake. The gravel road going into the lake is pretty bumpy because of road grader bouncing so it was a little slow going in. There were several boats on the lake, probably about 20-25 in all, I saw lots of fish on the screen, we caught 3 keeper crappies in the 11 inch range and threw about 6 others back. Also had 2 nice sunfish, very healthy. I saw some people catching bass, I hooked into one but lost him before the boat. What I saw were about 1 lb in size, maybe 1.5 lb. We were at Wehrspan yesterday and the park ranger said that about 2 years ago they drained the lake, dredged it, so it is on the grow cycle again. The lake is about 25 yrs old, it looked like an established lake to us. I'm just guessing, but I think there will be bigger bass in about 2 yrs there...the crappie and bluegill are good there now.
Bad note: I forgot to put my stepstool back in the jeep after wife got in the boat on land, when I realized I didn't have it, we looked around the parking lot but it was a goner. I'll mark that up as a donation to someone who needed it more than us.
