An old timer walking by told me he hasn't seen anyone pull bass out of that pond since they started using herbacide on it a few years ago. It's too bad because it 'looks' like it should be great for bass, lots of lilies but not too many, shoreline structures, some depth near the dam....

I dropped my yak in there last year and caught a few bass but couldn't believe how many carp are in there. the whole lake isn't more than a few feet deep anywhere.
