You can and need a fishing license. I have fished there several times but only caught tiny bluegill and turtles. I believe it's pretty much been fished out. People kept the fish and the county doesn't restock it. Fresh water fishing around here sucks unless you have a boat. All private property.
If you have a fishing license you can fish there. I've never fished and I've never seen anyone fishing but I imagine one could catch bass or other freshwater fish.
