Downstate Fishermen Seek Review of No-Motor Policy at Devil's Kitchen Lake
Mounting complaints from anglers and the lake concessionaire push for a review of the no-motor rule at Devil's Kitchen Lake. Boat rentals lag as many visitors struggle with rowing, raising replacement costs and dampening returns for the concession. Refuge officials caution that changing the policy may be difficult, though public sentiment leans toward allowing some power, possibly electric motors, with the lake still offering strong bluegill, bass and crappie fishing reports across nearby waters.
