Bass, catfish, bluegill, crappie, gar, white bass, hybrid stripers and sunfish reside here. Boat launch ramps in the parks are the primary launching facilities for pleasure and fishing boats. Spring offers the best opportunity for big stringers and an occasional lunker, but most everything in the lake can be caught year round - especially catfish. Follow the schools of bait as they move up in spring and fall, then go deeper in summer and winter. Predator fish always stay nearby their food source.
