Largemouth bass is the popular game fish in this lake, especially in open creeks like the Turkey, Copper Sale, and Okatuppa. Anglers also can find white and black crappie, a variety of catfish species, bream, and striped bass. The tailwaters offer anglers a variety of catfish, including channel, flathead, and blue. Bait and tackle are available at many locations around the lake.
