It has one of the biggest submerged springs in the lake that is shallow enough to remain active.

That picture was from the winter of '63. People were intent on getting a few last looks before it went under water.

I thought so too, but never found them at home there. The closest flatties I've found there were further out at the old stone bridge.

Yep. Every bit of it with current water levels. It has to get really low to see any of it above water and even then, much of it is erroded and deteriorated.

The remaining pier of the old railroad bridge has been a good winter crappie spot just out of Monte Ne. Locate the railroad cut on the east bank, just south of the HB island cut-through, and search straight out from the cut toward the mouth of Monte Ne. It's quite a ways off the railroad cut bank, but still in the original channel. It lacks a good 15-20' from reaching the surface, but easy enough to locate.

The bridge itself was scrapped during WWII, but the pier remains;

Shoot.....now I have a new spot to go locate on the structure scan. Just for the pure interest of finding it. Not for the fishing. LOL! Nice to know of a hidden spot though. Thanks!

ANd nice photo too. I love the history of the lake before it was a lake.
