I also live on Forest Lake. The person who made that comment is correct about the fish. The bird he is referring to to is the cormorant. They had an open hunt on them and their population has dwindled but they are still seen perched out on the visible fallen logs. The only thing we have been able to pull from the lake are catfish. Good size catfish at that. There are also a few Brim being taken but very small and very few. I only have experience on the East side of the lake which is separated by a bridge, but passable by small boat to the West side. Good kayaking and canoe lake though.

I live on Forest Lake. The bass are gone due to some kind of endangered bird that has been eating them. The World Record Mudfish was caught here, but, who cares? The good news is that we now have permission to kill the birds and save the bass!
