There are plenty of fish in there. Sadly its damn near useless to try to fish it due to so much vegetation in the water. I have seen a few river turtles on logs but not as many as i would expect. I did see what looked like a big rock far out in the water as i was paddling to the island and didnt see it on the way out. My guess would be a huge loggerhead snapper sunning itself. No native bald beaver, You have to bring some with you ha!!
