  • I remember when you used to be able to fish by boat on the lake. I seem to remember that the lake was closed to fishing by boat even before 9-11. Recently I heard that George Mason University was going to take over some part of the lake management and that the lake was going to be open to fishing again. I think one of the reasons the lake was closed to fishing is because of the people in the Lake Manassas Community (golf course) that borders the lake didn't want fishermen to detract from their community and golf course. As more money is created by home sales in the community and the golf course, the lake was closed to please the housing development.
