Cool little pond, nice parking area, walking trail and decent gravel launch. The grass was a bit of a challenge and it's a great place to come practice weeding your trolling motor prop. I fished the edge until I found the only thing there were stunted pumpkinseeds and they seemed more interested in catching dragonflies. I fished and flipped as much of the grass as I could, tried frogs, drug worms and even tried out around the rearing pens in the deeper water and never had a nip from a bass? Not a big deal as fishing here was a seat of the pants decision and worth the time gamble as I got off work earlier than expected.

The only reports on this lake were from 2009-ish and it seemed like it might hold em, probably just me?

***Edit*** The mountain picture is the view from Offut looking east. I accidently posted the wrong pic to each report. The long shot of Carlisle is in the Offut report. Not sure if mods can fix that?

I had the privilege of fishing that lake a few times back in the 1980s and 1990s. I caught several largemouth bass up to 14 1/2 inches - and some crappie that were up to 10 1/2 inches all on a Rapala. Pic of my old truck by the smoke stack the Carlisle info page. I fished from a canoe.

That photo is part of the reason I ended up there! I forgot to bring your book but I remembered seeing the little pond with the smokestack in Lewis County so a quick Google search gave me the info and I blasted down there! The lake looks fishy enough, just more of a timing issue I believe. I would like to return and fish it in April.
