Yes definitely. I checked it out once in the 2011 run and found quite a bit of the shoreline was inaccessible due to the density of the trees and how close they grow to the water. A little exploring though and you should be able to find some nice spots for yourself.

Be careful, the rocks can be VERY slippery down there from silt and algae.  I also found it to be quite snag filled.

But lots of guys fish there with success.

Parking can be an issue. Also they lock the gates up so it isn't fishable early morning or late in the day.

Good to know!

It seems like there are better options out there.
