new owners still are'nt putting in many big fish but there still stocking alot of carp, the lakes getting better but they need to put in more cats. they stocked 500 lb of blues and shovles march 15,07 the biggest was a 57 lb shovel. i live in monroe and fish there alot but i think paradise ll is better alot more big fish.

they still manly cater to carp fishermen they put in 500 pounds of cats but theyll put in 1500 lbs of carb. they have a fishing league that i wont fish because its carp and cat .and if your not fishing for carp you cant win, the carp fishermen will flat out wear you out. imagine cathing a 28, 22, 19, lb cats and get beat by some one cathing 15 to 20, 10lb to 15lb carp, you know it's a carp lake when your fishing for cats with shad and a float and catch a carp happened to me 4 times last year. plus youll get a line left and right because of all the carp. i hate carp.

i live by lake monroe and stop by there at least 2 times aweek.don't get me wrong i like to fish there and it is getting better you can actually catch cats now. but like last year they only stocked cats twice 500 or 600 lbs each time thats not alot of cats. and they will do the same this year .they will put in more channels and carp because they are alot cheaper than big cats. but i do like monroe used to be my main lake and may become it again because it is getting better.but if you want to fish a league or tournament out there you better fish for carp if you want to win.

monroe is having a tournament sunday bigest under 15lb and biggest over 15lb every hour. i think the under 15lb is so the carp guys have a better chance at cashing. $75 entry
