Burntstick and Beaver Lakes

Anyone been on the water at either of these lakes? How is the fishing?

Was at Beaver last week. Fishing was crappy unless you want the freshly stocked little guys. Never had fishing so poor. Was there two weeks before when they did their test nettings, and fishing was great before they put the nets in. Talked to the guy after they pulled the nets and he said they took 100+ big fish out, which was not surprising since I counted six+ netting location. Every good hole/area had a net in it. I guess that has made the differance... or maybe it was just an off day, but like I said worse day ever there.

Why do they take the big fish out??

Over the long weekend fishing I found Burnstick N.E. end has no area to shore fish so for me the fishing was bad and hiking around the Southern edge produced no fish able areas ether (all to marshy without waders).
Beaver lake on the other hand was great from the shore I never managed to catch a lot but I had some larger fish fallowing my lure up to ~3 from shore.
