That club was founded in the late 1800s. Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and many of the old "Captains of Industry" stayed and fished there. They had 16 bass stands they drew by lottery. Each had their own locking cabinet in a huge liquor safe. There's a lot of nice old fishing art in the clubhouse, and you can still see the original logbook with entries of fish caught before and around the turn of the century.
p.s. Nice pics of the Southwest end on those posts. grb
