the lake is nice , you take FM 2028 and you can dock at the dam , nice camping area. for my kats i dock at FM 2028 ( 2 miles from the dam exit )and fish right under the 2028 bridge or right at the mouth of the lake. have caught some nice kat from that spot. for my crappies i get some off 2028 bridge or stay on 2028 and take county road 118 it run into the lake .. its upper part of the lake with a lot of trees and brush piles. you can also go to richardson park in fish in the creek , you can get some nice kats at night off lake shad..or when the crappies are spawing you can get them their two..
