Haven't fished Wildcat in about two years. Decided to take the family out for a quiet day on the lake. What a mistake! Between the gas powered ski boat, on a lake that doesn't allow speeds over 5mph and no wake, the swimmers all over, and the nice man with his sailboard, I was surprised to catch 1 small rainbow planter. This lake is the perfect example of how not to manage urban growth. I wanted to show my daughter what a fun time you can have fishing and instead she saw that people can drive right up to the water, drink beers and throw the bottles into the lake and drive off again. About 10 years ago I caught my first trout over 4 lbs. in this lake and it saddens me to see what is happening now.
