City Lake |
|
The
old city lake, sometimes referred to as Isaac
Walton Lake, is a primary source of water
for Roxboro with access at the boat dock located
off a gravel road (opposite Clayton’s
Store) via SR 1336 and SR 1333 (Chub Lake
St.) in Person County. In 1984, the 100-acre
lake’s dam and spillway collapsed causing
the lake to drain and destroying the fishery.
In 1985, the Wildlife Commission restocked
the lake with largemouth bass, bluegill and
redear sunfish and channel catfish. The lake
reopened to fishing in March 1987. Crappie
fishing is considered excellent by local anglers
with nice stringers of 1-pound fish caught
each spring. Bass fishing is rated as fair-to-good
with occasional catches of lunker (6 to 10
pounds) fish. The best fishing for these two
species is in the old creek channel and around
some of the stump fields in this lake. The
lake also supports good fishing for bream
and channel catfish, particularly during the
summer. The lake is open year round and operating
hours are from sunrise to sunset. There is
a 25 hp restriction on outboard motors for
Roxboro City Lake.
