Generally, do guys have more luck on the north end or the southern end (near the dam and old power plant)?
YES....
the lake has a lot of fish, i would say i focus mid lake to dam though...
I bet it is JACKED up the fishing with the water. I know another lake like this that was low a few years back. Being low caused all the docs to rust, when it came up it effect the pH of the water and put the fish in a bad mood for about 3 months....
