The lake has plenty of bluegill and bass, a flotation device is allowed but there is no boat ramp and gasoline engines are not permitted. We will be able to get in to the lake at 7:00am and fish until lunch. The lunch menu will be hot dogs, brats, hamburgers, chips and some sort of dutch oven dessert. You need to bring your own beverage.

Bluegill Fest Report 

Saturday, May 16, about 15 club members went hunting for Bluegill at a pond around Ridge and 53rd street north. The day started at 7 under a cloudy sky and the ever present Kansas wind. We had a wide variety of fishing methods, kick boats, floating tubes, boat with trolling motor and bank fishing. The fish caught on Saturday were small to large blue gill, crappie and bass from 2 to 4 pounds. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and an (almost done) apple crisp.
