at graval pit with my son
we were moving some stuff for a friend sat afternoon . then on the way home my 19 year old said hey dad let's stop at the graval pit's . so to poor richard's we went for some fathead's & grub's. a small brown trout as soon as we got there. a little rock bass. and a small perch. he didn't do so well this time. so he just fished & took pic's. well he'll get some pic's when we go out after crappie's when it warm's up in a few day's. well you can't have all work & no play. dave

I snorkled there last august and was surprised to see the bottom covered with gobys. Try the south west end of the pond there are two spots where the springs feed up through the bottom and the brownies all collect there you can see hundreds of them in warm weather just hugging the bottom in the cool water.

Brown Trout love gobys...but still not good they are in there...bucket biologist at work

20 some years back I used to hit the pit and snorkle annually would come out with some nice fishing outfits that were snatched from the bank. Would have more than enough bobbers and splitshot spinners spoons ect. did the same at elk creek every spring just loaded with tackle on logs and shale bottom.

no problem if you hit elk in late may you can find large schools of cats if you want to play with them .have caught up to 20 lbers right after I got dried off and grabbed a pole out of the truck and went back

Just be careful, most officers are pretty decent but if you get fish commish in a bad mood chances are you might get fined as thats a commission lake,

Like others I've read about the snorkleing idea and it sounds fantastic. Where exactly is the gravel pit at? I pulled up a map and found Lake Gordon and Lake Koon is that area. Is that what you're referring to as the gravel pit?
