Are There Bass in Bass Lake?
Funny you should ask, and although the answer is an emphatic yes, there is bass in Bass Lake, that wasn’t always the case. Bass are not native to this wonderful body of water, but the original fish were killed when a lumber company polluted the waters, and bass were introduced to replace them. The powers that be even changed the lake’s name to honor its new denizens, as it was originally called Crane Valley Reservoir. Today, there are over 16 species of fish in the lake, including catfish, crappie, and blue gill, and as you may expect, it is a popular fishing destination.
The Fun You Will Have
Fishing isn’t the only thing Bass Lake is popular for, however, and as you partake in thrills that include swimming in designated areas, water skiing, wake boarding, and wave runners, you may find yourself reluctant to leave the water.
