I've fished it a few times, but tbh, given the murky water, am not a huge fan. that said, there are certainly some big fish caught there.

If i went again, i'd head to the bottom, big fish, lake. as you walk down, try the first bay you come to, right at the bottom, aim right, under the trees, there's a hole there, and it always holds fish. if there's nothing there, go up to the dam. Personally i don't like fishing off the dam, it's slippery and the chicken wire catches your line, but there's a lot of fish caught here. personally i like the swims to the right of the dam as you stand on it. there's a couple of small bays between the trees where you can get a cast out. Ive had most success on large damsels and montanas but buzzers and daddies work too. the water's usually like coffee so there's not much stalking about, but sometimes you can get lucky.!

Good luck.
Alex
