With a tube, you can launch anywhere along the road in, although the three most likely spots would be from either the campground, the paved launch ramp (where you can get right down to the waterline), or the dam. Other spots in-between are do-able, although you'll have some hiking to do (but only 50-100 yards, maybe less in some places).

The springtime 'big bites' may be behind us now, but you know they're still out there, somewhere! Regardless of all the big trout-plug fish you hear about coming from this lake, I have caught all 3 of my biggest fish *split-shotting* green-weenie type worms, both 4- and 6-inch.

Now that the weeds are filling up alot of the shallow areas, you may still be able to work a trout plug on top (like an MS Slammer, perhaps) in-between the surface mats. Senkos, Brush Hogs & crankbaits either into or along the outside weed edges might work for you, too. Drop-shotting around the dam area might also be something to consider, or flipping the brush down at the south end, and up into the creek zone.

Like I said, the big dawgs are out there, for sure, and there must still be planted rainbows still swimming around (as far as I know), so you still have a decent chance of hooking into a so-called 'wallhanger' (but please catch-n-release, if you do! Please!)


Hope that helps -- let us know how you do!
