Fishing at McLaren is risky it’s not legal usually park rangers come around 5 pm to close the gate for parking but the park is still open the upper reservoir pond is not bad for fishing and we caught a large mouth bass in under 20 minutes but they are little dinks not a lot over 2 pounds and at the duck pond there are carp but in the upper pond there are blue gill I believe and bass also people don’t mind u fishing
