I'd heard that. Don't know why they wouldn't COLD water year round. Lots of rocks for oxygenation, lots of bugs and stuff to eat. Used to catch a mixed bag, rainbows, yellow perch, big bream, and stripers. Fun and good eatin'!Have yet to fish there but I’ve been in contact with SCDNR about the trout fishing. Apparently they have rainbows successfully reproducing.
