I was there today.  I fished right in the middle of the lake with tip-ups only.  I didn't catch anything.  Next time I will remember to bring my jiggin' rod.

if u want lots of action sunset is definitely the place to go, not so much for a trophy fish though, went a couple weeks ago and had 6 rainbows before i fished setting up my jacks...had to take the jacks out so i could jig up some lakers.  the rainbows are very finicky though if you don't come prepared your going to have a very frustrating day.
