Beaver lake?

I want to try somewhere new and have heard good things about beaver lake. I heard it was closed though. Anyone know if it is or not? How is the bass fishing?

I believe the lake is open but the boat dock is closed.

Have not been fishing there for over a month

Last time i was there baitshop closed up and ramp was still open plenty of fellas coming and going off it i was on bank sticking some pigs i know hang in the area hell they been hanging there for nearly 9 years lol (different generation of fish of course)

Alright thanks guys! Would anyone mind sharing the features of the lake? Like is there grass, rip rap, deep rocky banks, stumps, lay downs, flats etc. I'm pretty sure it's trolling motor only isn't it? Would like to know what to expect and what bait to have tied on since I can't ride around. Thanks for the help everyone. Going to try and make it out there Friday or Saturday.

Been a long time since I was there, but I'm sure the structure hasn't changed much. Unless they sprayed it there was quite a bit grass in several areas. The banks offer plenty of varying structure too.

If you're not dead set on bass, there's a ton of catfish in Beaver.

It has all of the above but for the most part the two prevailing kinds of cover are grass and lay downs. When you leave the ramp there is a long fairly steep bank on the left about halfway between the ramp and the dam.
