I hunted there before they had the dam built back in '76. When they opened the lake to fishing it was a crappie factory. Three of us fished all night and caught over 500 that night. Ice fishing for crappie was great until they turned the plant on, now it never freezes. I went down there twice recently and caught a nice channel cat the first trip. The second trip the wind had kicked up and there were 3' whitecaps. My 20' bass boat handled fine running out but I couldn't hold the boat with the trolling motor. Put the boat on the trailer and fished from shore. Caught several nice white bass. Part of the lake is now closed for security since 9/11. The lake and plant were supposed to cost $200 million but new nuke plant rules plus union problems ran the cost to $4 billion. Two years ago the whole thing was sold for $20 million. There's talk about closing the old plant and building another.
