KDFWR opened the lake to fishing at least a year too early. Seems to me that a TROPHY LAKE would want to establish a couple of spawning classes plus build up the forage in the lake to get the Trophies a solid starting foundation. That is in the past and now they have to figure out how to correct those mistakes while it is open to fishing. Major current issue, AMISH are cleaning out the lake. No matter the size no matter the limit no matter the species. Until the Amish culture is busted and held to the same rules and regulations as the rest of us, Cedar Creek can be cleaned out just like a 784 acre farm pond when over harvesting occurs. Why such a shot at KDFWR, you ask? Because all the dollars from all the fishing liscense to create this Trophy Lake has been a waste if you ask me. The lake was damned up in 2002, filled in 2003 (ahead of schedule due to excessive rain which is not KDFWR fault) but just because it is full of water doesnt mean turn loose the fishermen. 11 and 10 years ago respectively and how many 8, 9 or 10 pounders have been verified? How many post have been read stating "my best five would have went 30 pounds" out of Cedar Creek? Just saying KDFWR dropped the ball from Day 1 and no end in sight to their Butter Fingers on this project.Originally Posted by Rob1678
