I grew up in Prosper. What lake are you talking about?

In a neoghborhood called greenspoint. I believe it is one of the first parks of prosper. Its located a bit east of the intersection of 1st and coit. Opens google maps and search prosper town lake then you will find it. Its labeled as a soil conservation service site or something like that

That's one of those newer neighborhoods that wasn't around when I was there. That lake was on private property then I guess. I was wondering what you were talking about. There wasn't any public fishing in Prosper when I was there, but that doesn't mean we didn't sneak over a fence now and again to wet a line. I've caught many 3-5 pound bass in the ponds around the Prosper area, none of which we had permission to fish (I found out later, unfortunately...).

Yeah I just look for fences and avoid them. If there is no fence then it might as well be public! Just kiddin

I fish it almost every weekend from my 2 man boat. Biggest so far was a 9 lber on a bluegill colored red eye shad. Seen many DD's come out of there. Its been around since the late 1800's an old man told me

Can you keep and eat the fish or do they charge extra?

Yes, I have fished out there. Did it on my kayak when I had it once or twice, but never caught anything out in it. Yes, I have caught a 4-5 pounder out there. Good fishing (sometimes), lots of grass!
