i fished it this summer and did well with the bass. A lot of fish did get lost in the dam break. But many actually made it, before they re did the dam i was fishing there at a spot that was no more then 30 ft wide and actually caught a few decent pike. so that leads me to believe that a bunch of fish must have not been washed away. I have family with a camp on the pond and was actually there when the dam broke and we sat on the deck and watched the lake drain and then watched the boat sink into the mud. It really was an astonishiong thing to have seen.
