An additional stocking of adult bass occurred in the spring of 2022. This stocking was a group of 40 brood bass that were being retired from Jake Wolf Fish Hatchery. With an average size of 4 pounds, these fish should provide some great fishing action as well as introduce a larger size class of bass that previously did not exist in the lake. | |
