Shore fishing has been good at the main recreation center, the Pines, Oak Point and Sobrante Point. Across the lake between the Rock Wall and the buoy line, fishing has been excellent. Anglers reported catching limits within a few hours. Other hot spots have been Farrell's Landing, Bobber Beach, Sandy Point and Scow Canyon.
