Hi. I'm just wanting to know if anyone has fished hawks nest lake. It is really part of the new river so I say it is great for SM. Just wander if anyone has been?  And if so how did you do?

Yes, and yes.

I live pretty close and have fished it a few times over the years, I've never caught any lunkers but being the New River it's possible. 

The only complaints I have is the very rough dirt road going down into the it and it's a small Lake 

There's supposed to be some big strippers in there but I've never seen any.

It also a good Walleye fishery, but there is a limit on them. 

My son has fished it more than me and has landed some really nice smallmouth and Walleye.
