Catfish seems to be the most common catch, however there has been influx in Bass Check out these spots for a general location of each time of fish:

Harvey's Cove {Bass and Catfish], Sweet-water Bay [Trout], Clark's cove [Trout], Johnson Bay [Large Mouth], Santa Cruz Bay [Catfish] and Bobcat's cove [catfish]. Unfortunately, for those that may want to fish for Trout, the fishing is still slow. They are about 85-100 feet from surface, so add either a split shot or a egg sinker to achieve the necessary depth. For Crappie, neon green or a generally neon jig have been proven most effective. Furthermore, utilizing either worms [garlic] or Mackerel has been the bait trend for Catfish. Rainbow Trout Rapalas or rubber worms/shad or white crank bait or black and yellow Panther Martins have been effective for Large and Small Mouth Bass. Side note: Shore fishing has been slow, so if possible have or rent a boat for better catch results. Check out 805webcam for: weather conditions and scenic views.
