The lake has healthy populations of four species of bass, three species of catfish, two species of crappie, several species of sunfish and both striped bass and hybrid stripers. Most of the shores of Sinclair Lake are lined with homes, however there are public boat launch ramps, parks, campgrounds and other public access areas for fishing from the bank and launching small watercraft like canoes and kayaks.
