Mccormick Lake

[Brian Sloss]

In case anyone finds themselves down this way in the next few days, since the river is still chocolate milk colored, you might try McCormick Lake. I went there with the Lab today and I gotta say, the lake looks better than I've seen it in quite some time. Plenty of water and hopefully plenty of fish. The flood appears to have done the lake some good. I fished it a little from the bank with a black road runner and a rebel crawdad with poor results. But I also had a lab who kept swimming in the fishing holes and besides, I was there more for the walk and the dog to play. A canoe or kayak and a more serious attempt might render better results for someone else. Give it a try if you are around soon.

Thanks Brian! Our group rescheduled for later in April. The lake was definitely an option, but our biggest concern was getting there. We travel through Piedmont and reports indicated that was not going to happen. We are looking forward to seeing how the river has changed. When you get on it, give us a preview of some of the changes you notice, especially those from Turner downriver. I might add that we often talk about checking the lake out, but always have a hard time getting away from the river and its beauty!!!
