Does anyone have any information regarding Lake Royal off of Guinea Rd in the Fairfax/Annandale/Springfield area?  I know it's a 38 acre lake and the park entrance is off of Chatsworth Ct, but has anyone actually fished it?  I've fished two of the three sister lakes (Mercer and Burke) but haven't yet fished Huntsman either.  I was just curious as far as the hours of the park.  Are they the typical sunrise to sunset lake or do they permit 24 hours night fishing?  Me and a few of my buds in town are looking for a place to night fish other than Burke Lake and were just curious.  Also if anyone has fished here what type of cover should you expect and where can you find the fish?  I know there's bass in here as flippin4it told me last time he was on the boat with my dad and I.  Any info would be appreciated guys.  I was hoping to hit this place tommorrow night if night fishing is permitted, if not it may wait til' Saturday morning at sun up.  

it is sunrise to sunset instead of 24 hours. Yes there are bass in the lake, I went there a couple of time and managed to hook up something every time, nothing bigger than 1lb yet.

I catch bass in the 2-4 pound range there on a regular basis, my neighborhood backs right up to it. A freind of mine caught a bass 9+ pound 3 years ago, took pictures and put her back. The lake has been getting alot of pressure in the past few years, but fishing can still be great. Like I said before, fish in spots that don't have a path beatin to it.

Here's another lake I've been wondering about.  It's just a couple miles away from me.  Are boats allowed?

Boats are allowed as long as it's paddle power only. The problem is launching, you have to carry it to the water.

Cool thanks flippin.  I just put an inflatable fishing raft on my amazon.com wish list.  Sounds perfect for that lake... and for lake Barton.

Lots of small bass in there.  I've had a fish finder in there before.  It is max 16' near the dam and not much structure at all other than what you can see.  For best shore fishing park at the secondary lot (the one without a playground).  Work along the dam on the right or go left and try to get to some of the less pressured falldowns along the bank.

pkschul, when you get you inflatable. Huntsman is a lake that comes alive when in a boat. I found a spot and yes i'll call it a sweet spot. You have to be in a boat, it's kinda in the middle. I'll take you there and point it out some time.
