KIDS FISHING INFORMATION: This lake has a lot of shore area that contains bluegill and some bass. The road encircles the lake making it easier to find rocks or weeds along the shore. I would suggest worms with a bobber 18 inches above the worms - fished close to shore near rocky or weeded areas. Also, a fly tied at the end of 8 or 6 pound line with a bobber 18 to 24 inches above it. When using a fly cast at an angle away from your position fairly close to shore and reel the fly back at a slower speed. If there are bluegill in the area they will usually take the fly. Using a fly can not only catch fish but help in becoming better at casting. For the grownups --------- I have not fished this lake but have had several people tell me it produces good numbers of sizable bass.
