Hot Walk Around Sikes Lake With Regulation Fishing


When I began my walk around Sikes Lake, this morning, my phone was telling me the temperature was 88 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method. With the humidity making those 88 degrees really feel like 95 degrees.

However, my phone did not seem to know about the strong wind blowing, causing a wind chill factor to make those 88 degrees feel way cooler.

There were several groups of fisher people at various locations around the lake today, including the group above, I zoomed in to on the west side of the lake, from my vantage point on the east side of the lake.

I saw one angler successfully hook a lake creature. Of what variety, I have no clue.

I think I likely noticed the Community Fishing Lake Regulations sign previously, but don't remember, for sure. Age-related memory issues.


The regulations sign lists the types of fish one might catch in this lake. Several types of Bass, along with several types of Sunfish, Bluegill, Rainbow Trout, Channel Catfish and Crappies.

I do not think I'd want to be eating a fish called Crappie.

The regulation sign details regulations, such as a fishing license being required for those 17 and older, how many fish one can catch in a day and how big a Black Bass must be.

In all the years I have been walking around Sikes Lake, I have never seen any hint of a game warden.
