Re: Roosevelt Park Lake
I live near there, walk my dog there often, Though I almost never fish it.
NOt too into pond fishing, lots of people do in the spring, mostly older men who live nearby, there are a lot of fish pulled out of there in the spring, and a lot of bass when the water warms up, not too big, but it a place people can go close to home, who may not have time or money to go other places.
If you fished there and got nothing,, it was just a bad day or wrong bait/lure.
it is dug out in the middle 8 or ten feet, channels not too far off the rails. They drained it not too many years ago and did lots of work making it deeper.
On good days its actually pretty nice, though it gets somewhat green in summer. After lots of rain it can be discusting, garbage that washes in, not to mention fishing worm boxes from fisherman to lazy or stupid to clean up after themselves.
As for eating the fish, not in there long enough to get too contaminated, but then I wouldn't eat any stocked/farm raised fish anyhow.
