Anglers have reported success catching largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass on the lake. To maximize your chance of success at catching some of these fish, try fishing off the topwater as early in the day as you can, or later at night. Anglers have reported success using reaction baits, crank baits, and flukes in a shad pattern. For any fishing done later in the middle of the day, target deep water and try using finesse presentations. Special Regulations: Unlimited striped bass of any size, limit of 5 trout, and 15 crappie. For species not listed, or bodies of water without special regulations, refer to the statewide fishing regulations
