Lets Make New Henderson Fishing Pond
#1
Alright, look at this picture. On the left is a pond located off of Stephanie St. and Wigwam in Henderson right off the freeway, the right image is Sunset Pond (both at the same magnification)

I don't know how current these photos are, but has anyone visited the pond on the left lately? I was there just yesterday and it's gotten much bigger and it's INCREDIBLY GREEN! I walked down to the water and it's overgrown with reeds, trees, flowers and brush. There are all kinds of birds and animals all over the place - I even saw a bass tracker on the water last year!

Does anyone know who this property belongs to? I've heard that it used to be a gravel pit that filled with water after striking an aquiphor years ago.

For years I've wanted to try and contact the landowner and try to propose turning the area into a park/fishing pond - if anyone is interested for the cause, I would love make that a reality.

If you live near by, check the place out, you'll swear there's fish in there! There's a business parking lot adjacent the pond on wigwam - just cross the street and you're there - or on the opposite of the pond (can't remember the street I think its AM Pacific) is another parking lot.

To anyone interested, lets get a plan together to try and make this giant body of water a nice local fishing pond.

Great idea but where will the money come from?

Things are tight times for the state/city so I doubt if there would be any monies to improve or develop this site.

I live on in the NW way on the other side of town so for me it wouldn't work. In fact, I've never fished Sunset although I've been to Veteran's Park in Boulder City when the fishing sucked at Willow Beach.

I say go to a Henderson council meeting or call your city rep and run it by them. Perhaps there may be some plans in the works you may not be aware.
