You can fish from the fishing piers, the bank, or your boat on Proctor Lake.

I am holding a striper that goes about 8 lb.  This is one of
about 45 that three of us caught from my 12 ft. pontoon boat.

The fish were caught while trolling jigs, and spoons.

I troll about 1.5 mph and fished about 15 ft. deep (two lead sinkers
put above the jigs worked fine. Crappie jigs worked good this
way catching Striper as well as Crappie.
