there's a warm water discharge here from the water treatment facility, so overall the water here is warmer and attracts lots of fish during the colder months. lots of bass, snakeheads, carp, catfish, big sunfish. During the cold months, fish baits slowly or use drop shot or dead sticking methods for those stubborn bass. live bait does the trick too.

so far I've only fished the base of the Brighton Dam but I've caught a 5lb striper on a 1/4 oz inline spinner here back on opening day March 2020. another guy caught a decent sized Pike on a spoon on the same day I caught that striper. I hear that walleyes and muskies from downriver in rocky gorge area run up here during the spring. I have yet to catch one of those, but telling from my juvenile experience here along with the decent fish tales I've heard around here, I can tell that this whole WSSC area is a great place to target big fish!
