How was it a couple of years ago?

The fishing was fine if you like fishing for "factory trout". I caught 10 to 12
inch pale silver "rainbows" till I tired of it. I later went above the lake and
fished for my beloved little bluegill and caught a few smallmouth bass as
well.IIi don't particularly care to fish tailwaters, but the fishing was as I
expected it to be. I have known Jeff for about a decade now would expect him to
be a straight shooter with you as he is with everyone else that I know.

That area is one of the poorest that I know of in the state and I find it kind
of depressing. You don't find many towns that can't support a fast food
franchise. Still, I like that part of the state since when I was a kid our Boy
Scout Troop would camp near Shady Lake for each summer. That was pretty cool
except for all the damn copperheads...I don't do snakes but at least I can
smell copperheads.
