Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists common carp, bluegill, longear sunfish, blacktail redhorse and channel catfish. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area.

Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Sandy Beach Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow.
