Mt. Normandale Lake- Bloomington

[Cyberfish]

Normandale lake used to be a swamp with 9 mile creek running through it. Back in the 80s they tore up the swamp, dredged it out a little and put in the poor word usage (yea...that is silly that they censor the word for the thing that stops water flowage also known as poor word usage on this site. Just what DO you want everyone to call it? DOI!!!!) you see off Normandale Rd.

It is called a dam! Problem is people are putting an "n" at the end of dam, and then you have an entirely different word that refers to eternal torment in the lake of fire, and is a word that some consider offensive.

There are some HUGE bugle mouthed bass in there!

Yes. Carp Bonanza.

This poster posted this same thing last year about how many bass he catches on this weed pond. He posted a pic that was about 20 yrs old and didn't prove it was on this lake.

This is a political ploy as this was quite an issue in bloomington and since this poster made the same post last year it had a few more people ice fishing it. I almost never see boats on the lake as it needs to be dredged to maybe make it a real lake.

You guys that catch all these monsters in there let me know when you are going and I will come fish with you to catch these so called monsters.

Please check the posts from this poster and see that about 90% of them relate to the trophy fishery that is being debated in the city.

I would try to get all the facts before you start bashing someone. I have fished this lake a couple of times and have hit some very nice bass. Did I get any trophies, I did not, but I did catch some very nice bass and it was a fun lake to fish. Maybe he does have some political backing, maybe he just has a concern for this lake. I don't know him so I can't say. But I won't put someone down for posting. And if the lake is getting hit hard, who cares. If indeed it's going to be drained out, what harm is being done to it?

Thats fine, everyone has opinions. My opinion is that this is a pretty fishy(no pun intended) post that is pretty much an advertisement for what a tremendous lake this is.
