Title: Hart and Ohop lake ? Gas or Electric motors
Post by: bear hunter on April 25, 2015, 12:35:06 PM: Can I use gas motor it these lakes? I can't find any info in the county parks web page. I have read they have catfish and crappie. I never caught a cannel cat nor a crappie before. I might have to make a Sunday fishing trip. Is it a good trout lake to? Thanks

I know they used to plant channel cats in Harts. Haven't heard much about them lately. Not sure the state has continued planting them there.

Not really a catfish guy, just what I've always heard.
