ANGLING OPPORTUNITIES

With the increase in vegetation (hydrilla) in the upper end, fishing for largemouth bass has improved . Catfishes and open water species such as white bass and hybrid stripers are very good. Hybrids are stocked on an annual basis and have provided an excellent fishery; however, no one has registered a lake record yet. Downriggers can provide hybrid striper action during warm months, watch for schooling birds during cooler weather.
