Leisure lake is a wondeerful place takin care of the fish in the lakes. The staff is very nice. My wife and I went on 6/19/09 and caught fish. Good luck fishing....I been fishing leisures lakes my entire life I'm  37 now and have always caught my limits on catfish. My entire family makes trips to the ponds. My biggest fish so far is a 30lb flathead, still hoping for all the 50plus pounds ones I have seen put in the ponds over the last 20 years and the good part is over 20lbs get put back in the ponds so everyone has a good chance to get the big one, most of what I catch is 3 to 8 lb. channel and flathead catfish. If you're looking for a great spot for a family fishing day, this is a place. You will always love. I hope it stays open for many more years to come. I look forward to taking my son there when he is old enough to fish. At least for now my son being 8 months old he gets to watch for now lol....
