Fishing at Hagg Lake

Title

Fishing at Hagg Lake

Description

Black and white image of fishers at the newly created Henry Hagg Lake reservoir. Construction of the Scoggins Dam destroyed natural spawning grounds in Scoggins Creek, but to mitigate that effect on local fishery populations and recreational fishermen, the lake was stocked with trout, crappie, bass, and perch each year. It was also hoped that drawing recreational users such as fishers and boaters to the reservoir would be a boost to the county's economy.
