Angling Opportunities
This lake is noted for crappie fishing, especially in winter and spring. Largemouth bass, channel catfish, and blue catfish offer good angling opportunities. Striped bass were stocked in 1989 and 1994. They have not reproduced, but a sizable population provides some recreational angling. Sunfish are plentiful, with good populations of several species.
