Can anyone get on this Lake Ellerslie? Is it private? Can you take a boat? Where is it located in Lexington.

It's $150 per year after the first year. The first year is your biggest hit but you save that in gas.

Where you live DJD? bout to get my name up the list one...LMAO....seriously, how does one get on the list? Im not going anywhere, may as well get in line

[DJD]

I live about 5 minutes from the lake. We got in by finding a few guys who could sponsor us. The trick was finding a few who haven't used or promised their (2) a year sponsor quota. Most guys end up with family, extended family, close friends, fishing buddies, friends friends and others using their quotas up for years.
We usually have our (2) spoken for the year before!

Hey Don can you tell me where I'm at on the list?

[buzzking]

I would cut somebody to get on that list

DJD and SmlJAW

I was there about 15 min and caught a 3-13, fifteen minutes later I caught a 2-15, after these I stopped weighing them. I caught another about 3.5-4 lbs and lost one at the boat over 5#, I caught a couple more in the 2-3 lb range
and a single crappie. Wasn't bad for 2.5 hours on the water.
I wish I landed the bigger one but it was fun none the less!! I had my wife with me which makes it special too.

To answer some of the other questions asked about this lake.
Yes it is lake Ellerslie, It is Private but can be fished with a member for a fee.
I waited for a little over 10 years to join. A person has to be sponsored by two members to get their name on the list, After this it is a waiting game.
Big initial fee but like Don said 150 a year after that. When the fishing is hot it's hot. I know SmlJaw DJD and I caught oodles over 4 lbs last year and I had one over 7#. If any of you guys want to fish it, better get on the list now or befriend one of these guys

If Im depending on one of my homeboys from here to get me on that list, I'd say I'm up chit creek, lmfao.
