Never fished it, but I do know they pull quite a few dead bodies out of it every year. Not exactly a pristine area by any means either.

Who knows, it may hold some whoppers???

I read a article on it found at a southern illinois fishing mag site about 10 unknown places. lol, I was looking at the map and seen it was right over in east st lou, not the greatest place but it has a golf coarse near it so i figured it might be somewhat safe haha. Says it can produce some good bass.....

I've fishind it once and no luck. Its not the deepest lake. I just recently stop by to take a look and I did notice some bank guys catching small crappies so it may be worth it..

I had heard from Rod at the BND that it is an underperforming lake in terms of bass.
