Trout are scattered throughout the lake. Anglers are finding success slow trolling along the weed beds. Once a group of fish is located trolling, some boat anglers are anchoring up and switching to casting flies, spinners, or jigs.

The lake is best fished from a boat, but there is some bank access at a few spots along the lake. Anglers will want to keep an eye on the weather, because the lake can be very windy.
