Are you looking for a fishing location with little fishing pressure and yet presenting the challenge of any other more well-known body of water? In addition to being somewhat remote, most watershed lakes also present the challenge of fluctuating water levels.
Watershed lakes are flood control and soil conservation impoundments that are scattered across rural areas. The idea is that if the land cannot absorb the rainfall, it will usually drain into creeks or ditches. As it runs off, the water carries with it a goodly amount of soil. If it runs off too quickly, the water can cause flooding problems downstream. As the topsoil deposits, it builds up in the channels and aggravates the flooding problem.
In order to alleviate the problems man builds small to medium size dams across flood prone creeks. They consist of earth and rock yielding a life span of about 100 years. The area upstream of a dam fills in with sediment. When it is no longer useful, officials destroy it and another built elsewhere.
