Reviews of Lake Cortez lake

This COULD be a really nice park. We're new to fishing community lakes and we happened to be in the area around 5pm, so we decided to check it out despite the bad reviews. Yeah, the reviews are still accurate. Lots of trash in the pond. Fished for about an hour, saw multiple people fishing as well. Caught 2 plastic bags. Other fishermen were catching garbage as well, but no fish. It's supposed to be stocked with trout today, but I sure wouldn't eat anything I caught out of here. I don't know how often the city cleans this place, but it needs to be more often and it needs to be dredged. They seem to flood irrigate the grass, so any fertilizer is going to end up in the pond as well.

3 acres of park \ lake residential fishing (it's stocked)(must have license), lots of ducks & geese; has an island can walk into over bridge with rock sculpture & stream that runs out into lake. Has basketball court, tennis court, 2 baseball diamonds, & awesome playground - all have seating around to watch play. Restrooms are between baseball diamonds. Lots of room for everyone, sidewalks to walk or ride bicycle, also can walk or ride down next to canal. Is awesome at sunrise. I love taking pics of sunrise & ducks at play.

was hella dirty full with trash spent an hour cleaning the trash out of the lake nd pulled out a skeloton duck with a dead fish on the side with WORMS ON THEM SO HELL NAH UGLY LAKE EVER, homeless all around making it trashy like come on. first time there nd hell nah used my only fishing pole to take out the trash nd i just left my fishing pole there with the trash after takin em out worms in the water causing dead of duck nd fish

Very dirty and homeless everywhere. All fish are dead due to the water being contaminated and dirty. Did not catch any fish because they all died and can see all the dead fish floating. Do not recommend fishing and community has very much crime rate. Very dirty

Very dirty lake trash everywhere. Fished for many hours morning and night not a nibble. Talked to local fisherman they said lakes not stocked anymore well why do you fish then I asked they said just something to do. So overall would give a zero would be a great place to dish for kids but needs maajor cleaning and trash detail also would not hurt to drag lake and get trash out of it as well as put some fish in.
