EPic-I've had people tell me the catfishing can be really good along the riprap dam-especially in June when they come in shallow to spawn. But like you I wasn't impressed with this lake-I fished the north end from a boat maybe 10 yrs. ago for the bass. Tried everything I had and never got a bite. My son (who was just a little guy then) caught a nice wiper on a spinnerbait and that was it for the day. I think this lake has severe water drawdowns for irrigation most every summer and I'm guessing that really hurts the fishing. Ed
