The big bass regs are not working. Too many bass in that lake. Could use a good culling with 12 inch size limit instead of 15 inches.
The pan fish have taken a big time beating from Amish and English. Amish moved into the area heavily over past 5-8 years. Any time we get a good ice season, the pan fish get hammered, and then come spring spawn, they get pulled off beds. Double whammy.
With the drawdown going from 6 feet to 3-3.5 feet, this added even more pressure onto a relatively small body of water.
Just my .02 cents
