It is the closest lake to my house and I never fish there...so that should tell you something about the catfish population.

If you saw the construction going on, this was why. Spoke to some guys doing work for TRWD today. They said the next phase will begin "soon". They aslo said a water ski event was being held later today into tonight. Not much detail. They were doing a work order to put a cable across the ramp by TCC. There were about a dozen bank fishers and a few folks playing in bass boats. Four other yakers.

I fished along the rip rap and back to the foot bridge. Not a bite.

In a dozen trips since last spring, using lures, and a peanut butter grain bait Ive caught cats and carp on, I still have not caught a fish here. I've been all over it. Tried corn, too. Everyone here and people I talk to out there all say it's a tough lake to catch in. Lots of stories about big cats and nice bass though. Uh-huh. Fish tales.

Maybe I'll go up the creek next time.

i was out there today and caught 5. caught 6 on tuesday. hopefully eagle mountain will be open tomorrow or sunday

Hmmm. Boat looks familiar. Story sounds familiar. Did you see a handsome guy in an orange life vest and green kayak?

Fished MC on Monday, caught one dink had 2 others follow my lure but wouldn't bite. I've caught several LMBs on it one 4+lb and several 3's and 2's, but like folks here say, it is a tough lake. Thought the topwater bite would be on, esp. frog or buzzbait but never even got a dirty look. Caught the one on a lipless cb sexy shad color. Did see several snakes, so be careful that you don't get that unexpected passenger/backseater...lol

Oh, the water color was really stained, could see down about 1 or 1 1/2'. Usually fairly clear in times past.

it was stained. i caught all mine on plastics except a few on a spinnerbait

I was out there a couple Saturday's ago.. Caught around 15 one pounders. Heading out again this evening and I'll let yall know how it goes

they shut the lake down for some ski event today.

A buddy bank-fished there this morning and caught one about 1.5# before being encroached upon by an ornery cottonmouth. The ski event was in full swing. I drove by this afternoon and there weren't many vehicles left at the ski club area.
