Electrofishing pictures will be up shortly! Alan is the creel clerk that will be asking you a few questions that are important to the Lake's management. Creel census will run through October so you'll probably run into Alan sometime at the lake. October Netting pictures, nice crappie, bluegill, channel and walleye, click on BrownState above the fishing report to see some of these fish. Click on the fish species and it will take you to the updated Fishing Forecast. There is a new boat dock installed, man is it nice, check out the photo!
