Lake Tappan

Anyone have any info on it? From what I could find it seems like a half way descent fishery. What I'm wondering is what exactly this lake holds in terms of species. Are you allowed to put a yak in there? I saw it requires a permit but if its worth it ill give it a go this year.

I think it is part of the united water system. I don't know what species it holds, but I am certain it is shore fishing only, no boats of any kind.

Lm smallies sunnies and tons of carp. I fished it a few times this past summer (I'm a bass fisherman) but didn't catch anything. HOWEVER, the water level was extremely low and couldn't really cast to the drop off. I have had very good days in years past when the water level was higher. Also, I have heard the further you walk around the lake, the better the fishing gets. Because it is owned by united water, it's only fishing from shore. Maybe one day this will change. (realistically it never will)
