Hitting it tomorrow. Any good access points from the bank? What about other spots on the lake?

What are trying to target?

Bank fishing at Rocky point for whites should be starting to get good. Fishing below the dam should be good. Trying to target white bass from the bank with a fly rod is tough. Get there at 6 AM when they open the gates. That's about the best chance you will have of success with a fly rod because they will be up shallow chasing shad.

I have been wade fishing in the coves around Overlook Marina for bass and sunfish but have had minimal success.

The coves around Yegua Park are good for bass.

Fishing around Big Creek is good for crappie.

OOPS, I just saw the title was Yegua Creek. Access to Yegua Creek would be best at Newman's Bottom. There are some fairly beaten down paths from the white bass run. The creeks will be up tomorrow with this rain and I expect the fishing will be poor. Trying to cast a fly rod from the bank will also be very challenging.
