Its really not a lake anymore, more like a large retention basin that collects silt, sand and debris. It does hold fish but shore fishing is near impossible and even if you have a boat, lilypads cover a good portion of the "lake". River is already a good to excellent smallmouth water and removing that dam could really boost that fishery not to mention having shad run and allow walleyes to also move up into the river. Locals - of course - are against it with ridiculous reasons like "it may affect local businesses" So farmer Joe won't sell as much corn along the road this July?
