Back in the 90's it kicked out lots of giant fish and I really figured it would bounce back to that after filling from near empty during the drought, but it isn't near the fishery it was back then. If all it took was looks, then Lone Chimney would be at the top of the list though with all the flooded brush, timber and vegetation. If you haven't fished it before, expect your boat to get filthy from the road and scratches from the cedar and Bois D'arc in the lake.
