Coldwater is my favorite place to fish on this planet it has all the species a fresh water angler could ask for massive pike and large health bass, smallmouth also have been noted here black crappie are also a very common species if you know were to look but I think the south east Basin is the best for pike and it is a family friendly area that is quite and peaceful except for the early morning skiers that can get To be a pain they can be wreck less as well, but they are just happy to have fun and usually are not that big of an issue as we have to share the lake. And the lake on weekdays is just amazing for most of the people are older and retired and are very nice. Downsides the lake has many many sandbars and without someone who has been on the lake a wile you will have to be very cautious but there is no floating logs or stuff just be aware of the sandbars they can be good for fishing bit not the bottom of a boat. But that’s it the lake is the greatest ever and I would gladly give it 5 stars and a recommendation to anyone.
This would be a Great Lake for kayak fishing! It’s a bit of a walk to get there from either parking areas (Main La Su An lot or north lot) but the water is clean. There is a good amount of room for bank fishing but the lake is a good size. It would be awesome to get a kayak in and work the back of the lake that is never fished.
