Catfish bite well on chicken liver or cut bait along creek channels. Bluegill stay near shore weeds for simple family fun.
The reservoir has modern facilities, including ramps, campgrounds, and restrooms. Gas motors are allowed and lake levels fluctuate with irrigation schedules.
For anglers seeking variety in a well-equipped setting, Gunnison Bend is an excellent destination.
