Lake Notes:  Max. depth 43 ft.  Spring is the best time to catch good numbers of quality size largemouth bass.  During February and April, anglers find largemouth bass in the middle of their spawn.  Large willow leaf spinner baits in white or chartreuse, or jig and pork combinations in black/blue and black/chartreuse are excellent baits for springtime bass. From May through September, bass anglers are most successful fishing off points on the main lake around vegetation or submerged timber. Points bordering deep water are best. Plastic worms, spinner baits, buzz baits, and chugger type baits can all be good during summer months.  Crappie fishing can be great in spring when fish are in shallow water for spawning.  During summer, fishing can be good as crappie gather around large solitary trees in the mouths of creeks and on main lake points, suspending 10 to 20 feet deep.
