I have spent a few days at this lake in early April and didn"t hit any until the third day. I started fishing the northwest corner of the lake from the County Park dock. I was the only one there. Nice day too. I used 1/2 oz. egg sinker above my snap swivel and 3-4 feet of leader and landed a 9" and a 14" bow in 2 hours. A little slow due to cold water. Should pick up at that end of the lake sooner than the southeast acces area due to the sun hits the water for longer periods at a time when it's out. Good Luck!!
