For a small 26 acre city lake, there sure are some great fish in here. I personally have caught Bluegill, Catfish, Crappie, and Bass. I love fishing this lake! You can catch fish, especially Bluegill in the lower spillway. My PB was almost a state record! Thought I had hooked a bass! The spillway is an excellent place to take young kids and show them the joys of fishing as well as the outdoors! When they get bored, there is an awesome creek to play in also!
Let me start by saying you are NOT allowed to fish here. Signs say no fishing but if you go after the visitor center closes you should be ok, so long as you don’t run into any Karen’s or game wardens. Tons of bluegill and bait fish up shallow. Water is super clear. Was able to sight fish a few chasing bait. Top water bites are fire when the sun goes behind the trees. I dont know what the punishments are for getting caught but it’s a Great place to fish if willing to take the risk.
