Comments:This riverine lake is located at Cal Young Park in Abilene. There is good shore-fishing access on the east side of the lake. No boats of any kind, are allowed on the lake. The park closes at midnight and opens at 6:00 a.m. Cal Young Lake supports minimal populations of game fish. However, there are some large flathead catfish and 3 to 5 ppund largemouth bass in the lake. There are enough bluegill and other sunfish for children to enjoy catching. | |
