Fishing can be boom or bust just about anywhere you go. I have had a couple of slow days at Brandts Landing and one really good one. One of my other favorite places to fish from the shore in the winter is at Keller. There is a Federal Park that is just down the lake from the boat ramp. The access road will lead you to a few spots close to the water. There are vault toilets nearby and some have picnic tables and garbage cans. I like the last one at the end of the road. It is closest to the water, and I think it has the best drop off to deeper water where the trout are cruising. I do see anglers fishing from the shore right in the boat launch bay, and this shore drops off pretty steeply. I have had some slow days here, too, but it is usually productive for rainbow from 16 to 21 inches. I hope to get up there soon. Of course, Spring Canyon and Crescent Beach are good options close to town. Nothing complicated about fishing in these areas. Slip sinkers and Power Bait will do the job.
