    Yep, that's a dam, alright. Earthen dam with concrete overflow instead of a spillway .... just like Cedar Creek.

    How I fished it would depend on what I was fishing for ... but, nonetheless, I'd likely start on one end of it and work my way to the other.

    ... pappy

    If you are fishing for catfish I would fish in that cove to the left of the ramp with chicken liver. It's better fishing from a boat with an almost vertical presentation because there are alot of snags in those stickups. The area along the dam is good in the winter months for striper. A few years back my friend caught a 50 lb striper out of there. There is a school of about 8 to 10 of them in there. To catch them I would vertical jig a large spoon. There are catfish in the 30lb range in there too. I've caught many fish out of this lake in the last 20 years.
