Default Shore fishing chain lakes resevoir

If I were fishing from shore I would go to the North end I trolled from the launch to the end and back last Sat. All kinds of fish on the fish finder at the North end. I landed 12 small bows about 11" or so and missed hooking up on another 25 or so strikes as I was fishing alone in my boat

There are 2 boat launches at the South end the one I used was good they did not have the dock in the water as yet but the water level was good launching my 15 footer was no problem.
