Hoover Ponds are definitely still open. I've fished them at least twice a year since 2005, and the one I fish has never been drained. I've caught Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Green Sunfish, Yellow Perch, Brown Bullhead, Black Crappie and in recent years, the Bluegills and Greenies have been hybridizing, creating what is called a "Hybrid Sunfish" (it's real name). Nothing big lately, but lots of fish. I've had two 75+ fish days this year.
