I've only gone there to fish a few times. I've only heard of pike coming out of there but it is part of the canal system so it is possible for other species to be there. Access is the road on the west side of the canal. I've only seen shacks around the start of the canal and along the dam. I tried fishing south and then east of the canal in the bay but had no luck. The ones I saw catch a fish were the ones just south of the canal, east side where it drops off. Good luck.
