Cove Lake...Lexington's best kept secret!!!

I've always wondered what the deal was with that big lake across Squires, don't you have to a member of a club to fish there or something?

Yeah the club is Lake Ellerslie Fishing Club and I got a Blue out of there several years ago that went 45lbs.

I grew up a little ways from cove lake. The run off area on squires is about 4.5 feet deep at it's deepest. when the weather gets hot it all but dries up.
I too have fished it for years (before I became a member of Lake "E") and the biggest fish I have ever seen come out of there was a 2.5lb catfish. I have never seen a big cat or bass or carp come out of there. Never even heard about such a thing until this post. I think if people want to fish a run off pond they should go down in front of the mall. They'll have better luck for sure..
If someone catches a big one there (at cove lake) I assure you it is a fluke.
There are a few bluegill to be caught over there but when it's hot out you can bet any big cats are over in the main lake.
