Hardy Lake?

[honkytonk]

I have not fished it much for bass,but I did fish for them twice last year.Most of the fish are going to be less than 14".I live in Madison and fished it maybe 20 times last year.Both times I fished for them I caught 10 to 15. I fish most of time for panfish and catch 5 to 10 then.

Hardy is generally considered a good lake for numbers of fish. Very few will he over 14". It has always had large weed beds. But last year, for some reason , they were practically non existent. It is also usually one of the clearest lakes around, at least in the summer. It has had heavy fishing pressure the last few years.

I heard that they killed off most of the weedbeds last year.

I can't figure out why they killed the weeds out there but I didn't fish it much last year and I only live about 5 miles away. We did have one tournament there last year though and I had 10 or so boats and I think I had 7 out of the 10 with fish. The winner had around 12 or 13 pounds of fish with one 5 pounder.

Have no idea why they killed all the grass but it is gone. And the fishin will suffer for a long while.
