    FISHING COVER/STRUCTURE
    There is standing timber in the upper part of both creek arms and about 150 acres of submersed aquatic vegetation. There are submerged creek channels, humps, and a standing bridge along with scattered boat houses.

    FISHING TIPS AND TACTICS
    Anglers fishing for largemouth and spotted bass will do best in the spring, fall, and winter. Crawdad-colored crankbaits and chartreuse/white spinners can produce nice fish along rocky banks and mainlake points. Worm fishing along timber and brush will produce some big bass in the spring. The lake is full of small spotted bass that are fun to catch on small tubes or small craw worms. Look for crappie in the timber just after the spawn in late spring to early summer. They go deep in warm or cold weather. Boat houses also produce crappie fished with jigs or minnows. Channel catfish are caught best on punch baits or other stink baits.
