While their population is high their average size is small. Bluegills up to 8.3 inches were sampled but anglers will have to do quite a bit of sorting. Other sunfish species sampled include hybrid and green sunfish. Black crappies were sampled in low numbers. Northern pike were found in average numbers but below average size. Yellow bullhead were caught in average numbers.
