?s because I don't don't want to read the whole thread......family it seems, fishing any good for keeping a 6yr old entertained? Looks like a cat fishing hole from pics which is cool as hell. It could be a weekend me and the boy make an appearance......should I bring my boat?

I've never taken the time to fish, but others have. I believe @giles' kids caught a few last year. Morels have been found and much fun has been had. Even if the fish ain't biting, it's worth the effort!

It’s a good crappie lake, plenty of channel cats too. Fishing the lake is dependent on water level. Sometimes in May it can get high and muddy. If they are dumping excess water, the spillway is a really good spot for crappie and cats.

Honestly, he’d likely have more fun on the bank with other kids. There will likely be other kids around his age. If not, my kids are pretty good with younger kids. My youngest is 10. Prepare him for the nerf war!

I’d bring one. There is a good bit of bank access and folks have been catching good numbers from the bank below the campground right now. But the lake is at winter pool, won’t be in May. If you want to fish and tell lies with others, bank fish. If you want to catch enough to feed the villagers, bring a boat.
