yes, i have a really nice population of blue gill. i can catch all day long with most really good size. I dont have any crappie, at least i have not caught any since i have owned it. I believe i have a good population of flatheads and channels, although i am still a rookie on figuring out how to catch them. I have never fished for cats until I bought this property, so i am still figuring that out. I guess thats the fun of it all. thanks for the replies.
