The dam, of earth and buttress design, has a height of 34 feet and a storage capacity of 236 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 167 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres, the dam is situated on TR Ball Branch and has a drainage area of 320 acres.
Despite being privately owned, Fisherman's Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and has not been inspected since August 2, 1978. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a permit for inspection or enforcement. With no emergency action plan in place and a condition assessment that is not rated, there are potential risks associated with the dam that may need to be addressed in the future. Overall, Fisherman's Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams for recreational purposes.
