Current the lake is simply amazing fishing and is a huge source of fun for the residents. We need a company to manage aquatic growth and to make periodic fish surveys and make appropriate recommendations on fish management! We are really trying to protect this gem! It's full of large catfish. They probably average 5plus pounds and are feed trained. Lots of 20" bass but we were told that our lack of cover is hurting the bass size as they can't cath enough of our exploding bluegill population. The current company is getting very expensive and they are not doing work that's been asked of them. All they have done is apply chemicals for the last several years. We would like to get other bids to compare and keep everyone honest. Recommendation?

He's done a lot of work for me and friends up here and comes highly recommended.
