I've heard of it but never fished there. Is that public water?

Use to fish minsi quit often, caught a ton of trout, some huge pickerel, couple good bass and some good panfish. Ever since they stopped doing the winter stocking really havnt fished it much. Doesn't offer anything I cant catch anywhere else

I fished east banger years ago and duck hunted it.  I did catch some nice crappie there.

Big bass and Muskie in there as well. Great spot for gills

I'd be interested to hear from someone who has fished E. Bangor before and after the last fish kill (July 2013)

E.Bangor is weed choked but does have big fish in there. I believe it once held the state record Pickerel . If you can find the holes you will find the fish. It was very polluted for many years from sewage run off. Did not know about the fish kill this year. :-\

Wired I posted a link earlier. Hard to say how bad it was; sometimes losing a bunch of small fish can help, but hopefully they are taking a look at the causes. Sewage infiltration would fit the bill IMO. since they said it might have been lack of dissolved Oxygen.
