The lake can hold some pretty good numbers of holdover trout. Best time to fish is early or late in the day when the wind is not howling. Winter water temperatures may affect fish behavior.

Bank anglers can find access at the 12th street or Pinehurst boat ramps and off Paradise Point Road. The lake can be very windy so anglers will want to check the weather before heading out. Fishing earlier in the day is usually better because the winds tend to pick up in the afternoon.
