History & Status of the Fishery
This impoundment was first stocked with Smallmouth Bass by the Division of Fisheries in 1955. Redear Sunfish were added in 1956 and Channel Catfish in 1958. It was opened to fishing in the spring of 1958. An attempt to establish Rock Bass followed lake rehabilitation in 1962. Bluegill entered the lake by overflow from area ponds or angler introduction about that time and changed the fish population dynamics. In 1965 Largemouth Bass were stocked to provide a viable predator to control an overwhelming Bluegill population. Today the sport fishery includes Largemouth Bass, White Crappie, Bluegill, Redear Sunfish, and Channel Catfish. In addition, Rainbow Trout are stocked for the spring and fall trout seasons.

Consumption Advisory: Largemouth bass, crappie species, and bluegill are under a consumption advisory for Mercury contamination. It is advised that pregnant or nursing women, women of childbearing age, and children less than 15 years old consume no more than 1 meal/month, while women beyond childbearing age and males more than 15 years old are advised to consume no more than 1 meal/week.

Nice reservoir with improving bream and bass populations in my opinion. Water clarity is at times very good for Central Illinois. Typically I fly fish for bass and bluegill, however there are good populations of Catfish and Carp from observation of other fishermen. In the next few years this has the potential to be a very good pan fish lake.Friendly and not over crowded on most days. Good bank fishing opportunities at several locations around the lake.
