Fishing off the dock or off the shore you are guaranteed pan fish, and if you are good, you can catch bass. The fish in here are almost black! I have only heard rumors of people catching the catfish that where stocked, and have witnessed 3 people catch some average size northerns off the dock, but the best way to catch those is to take a boat out to the middle eat the deepest point and troll. As for the walleye, I have only seen a few people catch them off of boats, kinda scattered areas. All in all, it is a wonderful place to bring your kids swimming and a bit of fishing off the dock, or a nice boat ride and fish.
