Anyone been to the lake and checked it out? If so how about help?

Years ago, I have fished it for bass. It was a tough lake to bass fish, either I could not catch them, or there were not many available. Can't help you on the carp. PM sent ref another lake you might be interested in.

I have wanted to fish there, it seems like it would be good for crappie and bass.

Not a large head of Carp there but a good average size! If you end up catching more than one Carp a day you've done pretty well. I spent two and a half days there recently and only caught Bullheads. No bowfishing allowed which is a huge plus, no doubt the few fish in there will be able to grow to tremendous sizes.
