Big fish and lots of them. been to this lake about four times now and even though it's an hour drive it is my go to lake at this point. I have had 3 trips where my biggest 5 fish were a total of 90+ inches. It's electric motor only so it's calm and quiet for a kayak angler like myself. If you are going to give it a try I would recommend the Western side of the lake. It's a bit of a trip but the big girls live past the 2nd bridge.
You really need to go at the more quieter parts of the Reservoir because the main area is to shallow and a lot of boats are in the way but walk the trails and there some great open spots and little docks to fish off of the biggest fish I’ve caught here is a 13lb 8oz Blue Catfish
