Beaver Lake?

[CRANKINandYANKIN]

Beaver is still a fine lake. The weed beds on the back half of the lake are getting heavy and almost to the surface. In the spring I throw black and blue jigs, shallow cranks, and before this cold came back had 2 over 5lbs. on top water one afternoon. Beaver does have a 10 h.p. limit on it, I see more bass boats with kicker 10's now and some idleing big motors but be aware that if caught the fine is something like $275.00.

I really enjoyed fishing beaver, but now that I don't own a jon boat anymore, I shy away from it. I really agree with an earlier post on the idle speed only rule. However, if you let them idle, the urge to do a little more can be overwhelming for some. It's probably best the way it is. One bad apple....... you know the rest. If I still had that jon boat, I'd certainly still be thinking about Beaver. It does hold some quallity fish!!! Five pound fish are not uncommon. A friend of mine took an 8 lb largemouth on that lake!!! I'd recommend a trip or two down there. Good fishin'.

One year they did do the idle only thing on Beaver but the temptation was to much for some and they ruined it. At one time they wouldnt even let ya fire the big motor to load on trailer.
