Hey this place is pretty great. Went to the Forebay and caught to 20 inch stripers, and a (monster for us noobs) 32.5 inch, 11.5 pound catfish. Had a great time. I used anchovies and sardines. Just a side note. 10 dollars for a day pass, or 20 dollar overnight fishing pass. Pay at the self-registration at the entrance. Have fun and happy fishing!!!

There are some very big stripers in there. Couple catfish but better chance at stripers. It gets crowded though and if you park inside the rv area, make sure you pay at the self-registration! They check around.
