Thanks for the info- Tim
Tim,
Here's some additional information from this website:
http://www.norfolk.gov/utilities/resources/fishingstations.asp
They have some good maps of all the lakes in .pdf format also.
I personally prefer Western Branch Reservoir but Prince has some hot bass and striper fishin' too. Lake Prince dumps over a dam into Western Branch Reservoir.
Tight line,
Dan

Haven't been to Prince in years but last month I stopped in there while traveling on rt 460 .It was deserted except for one bank fisher woman fishing with a cane pole..
I used to spend a some fishing time there with my son and pop in law .Brought back a lot of memories of when the shop there was open and busy..And also the store up on the corner is gone.
Pop's gone on and son is to busy now since he's grown and joined the rat race .

bb,
Owen's still has his other store in Everett which is up by the leg of the Western Branch Reservoir that Burnt Mills dumps into. You can still get bait, good sandwiches and cold beverages there!!
He had issues with the septic system at the store on 460 that made it cheaper to close down than repair.
Lot of good bass and striper fishin' on both Lake Prince and Western Branch but I haven't been there in two years ..... ever since I discovered saltwater fishin'. I still have my smaller boat and have been tempted to head that way again for some winter yellow perch and crappie! Sure wish they were still stocking walleye on WB.
Kids would go with me all the time out at the lakes but they're grown now and the wife wouldn't be caught out there on my "small" boat. Now she's just as eager as I am to hit the bay or ocean for some fishing in the other boat so you can guess where I spend my time now.
