The Delaware River can offer very good catfishing as well. White bass fishing at Perry is fair to good. Spring spawning runs up the Delaware River can be good depending on water flows and turbidity rates. Open water fishing is also productive when the white bass are chasing schools of shad. Walleye and largemouth numbers have decreased since the early days of the reservoir.
Walleye are rare, but largemouth numbers are still at a fishable level.
The best areas for largemouth are the Slough creek and Rock Creek arms of the lake. Other fish that offer fishing opportunities are flathead catfish, carp and drum. The state park has a sand swimming beach and a beach house. An area in the state park is set aside for day use only. There are also approximately 350 sites for campers and tents.
