How big is the reservoir and what species of fish does it have in it? Also, is there a fee to use the lake?
Dunno the size, they have a launch ramp for electrics. It has all species of panfish,bass, and trout as its fed by the yahoola creek. Looks to be maybe a hundred acres or less. However you can float down the yahoola for more spots to fish so i would imagine if you dont run into real shallow water or raging torrents the fishing could be limitless.
Yahoola is open pretty much from sunup to 11pm.. no fees. I have fished out there til 1am with no hassles though. Just make sure you have a current license when you fish there... I think I've only been there once or twice when the game warden wasn't there checking licenses - and he will write you a ticket (you'll see all the angry bank fishers who don't have them)
And there are some bigguns in there (look at my avatar, 3lbs and 7lbs)
The coldest time I was up there was this past march (Lizard Drager was there too..). We had a small pot tourney with 3 boats in the water. I had a few fish with a 5.5lb kicker, Lizard Drager had a 4-4.5lb, and the other guys out there with us... well, their best 5 fish went nearly 25lbs, and best 6 were at 30lbs.
But one thing about that lake, you're either going to catch fish, or nothing - and a lot of people have a hard time catching fish up there. Don't get discouraged and keep fishing it... you'll have that place figured out in a few trips, it's not like it's a huge lake
go 400 north to where 4 lanes turn into 2 lanes at that traffic light. Turn left, and go to the end of that road and turn right onto main street. Go past walmart, and thru the next light... cross over the bridge and the ramp will be the first right past the bridge
I can't remember the road names or numbers... but i think the road that I'm calling main street is hwy 60?
