Swung by American Horse today. I figured it would be full after all the rains this past year. Surprised to see how low it still is. At least you don't have to drag a 2 man thru the mud to get to the water anymore.

It's also a great, yet challenging, bass lake. I practically lived on that lake for years. The knowledge I gained there served me well when I fished larger lakes around the state.

As I understand it, the ODW has completely formed the lake to be the optimal lake for bluegill. They have to use bass to balance the population, so I'm betting the bass were fat and happy. :D

The last I heard you can't put a boat on American Horse, don't know if that's still the case or not.

I didn't fish it but did see one trailer at the ramp. It's always been a fun place to catch a lot of smaller fish. I'll be hitting it up in a month when I start getting the bug to fish.

I believe they now allow boats with electric powered motors only. If I remember right, it went into affect last September. Should be in the latest regs book.
