Can anyone shed some light on what the heck happened there. It used to be clear with weedbeads and grass. Now there is no vegitation at all and water clarity is poor, mostly green. The place was a jewel at one time. Now it's a toilet.

well if its anything like the rest of the state, someone applied for, and was granted a weed control pesticide, which destroys everything, including the fish.

how the DEEP grants this is beyond me. intentionally poisoning a lake to kill weeds... known super toxins. someone explain it to me so it makes sense...

the place went downhill a couple years ago when they opened it up to the public.

May the four winds blow you safely home.

i don't understand the whole chemical weed treatment thing either, that can't be good for the ecosystem.

Sprayng weed killer has nothing to do with the general public. It wasn't enforced all that much to begin with. Just a shame to see such a great fishery go the way of the dodo.
