first of all I came here to fish and fished for 3 hours with no luck. then just minutes before I was going to leave the Cops pulled up. apparently this is a private lake and only residents are allowed. I got a 400$ trespassing fine and a $200 fine for being illegaly parked. don't risk it, it's not worth coming to this place.
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!
