    The Fish are Biting at Kernersville Lake 6/4/2010

    The lake at Kernersville Lake Park has been stocked with 3400 channel catfish this season, and we plan to add 1800 catfish each month through September. If you are over age 16 and intend to fish, you must have a license. Enjoy fun for the family in this slow economy, & "bring home dinner" at the same time!
