OMG.... OMG... I went out to check out what all the talk about the recent planting at Beaver lk. was all about. I don't know the area so when I got near to the park I saw a ton of cars parked on the road. I thought there was some kind of a celebration/party at the community center/park etc. When I got down to the shoreline I couldn't believe my eyes for all the people that I saw.
I fished for 2 hours, fished an inflated worm about 4 ft. off the bottom. Had no bit\es the whole time. Water was calm, overcast, very slight on/off sprinkle. When I put my float tube in I had to inch between the bank fisherman's out cast lines.... getting a few not so happy stares (like what are ya gonna do) -- I realize there is an actual boat launch, but I couldn't find it.... not to mention that it was covered with bank fishers too.
The bank was shoulder to shoulder. On the water I estimated about 40 boats, but then I couldn't see the far end of the lake. I saw two fish caught the whole time. One by a 5 y/o boy who along with his dad, pushed off in their inflatable raft and proceeded to troll down the lake. The whole time in the early quiet hours of the morning, while the dad yelled at and berated the 5 y/o for everything he did. Pretty disgusting dad.... Then there was the wars between the bank fisherman ticked off at the boats too close to shore for them. Many heated verbal exchanges, threats of bodily harm etc.
But on the fishing report news...... A couple of guys on the way out said they got their limit yesterday.
This place will be great come Spring time, but you probably want to stay away for at least a few weeks.
