You should evaluate the fishery. I would find a consultant, hire him, and find out the status of the fishery. In the meantime, decide how you would like the lake to be by setting goals. Once you absolutely know the status, you can figure out what needs to be done to make the lake as you want it to be. If the public still has access, you may need to figure out a way to manage that with catch limits. If you know a starting point, and have goals, you can figure out what to do to manage it.
