For example, Rocky Abreu of Oakdale likes to catfish at the lake during the summer and fall. Most of the cats are pan-sized, with an occasional fish in the 5 to 6 pound range taken. Black crappie round out the catches found at this fertile reservoir. Anglers experience the top action on crappie in the spring while working mini jigs and minnows around stickups, weedbeds and structure. However, the fishing for this cyclical fish has been tough in recent years.
Camping is available year round.
Undeveloped sites are also available anywhere past the cattle guard, but camping in this area is shut down after the first rains of the season. The Fish Sniffer. All rights reserved.
