McNeely is pretty heavily fished. The best fishing is in the big cove back by the dam. When the longear sunfish start nesting, you can catch them pretty regularly. Its possible to get back to the cove, but its a good little walk. Follow the trail that begins at the playground, past the apartments, back to the dam. Cross the tailwaters (usually not even a foot deep), then follow the trail left. That will lead you down to the lake and some pretty good fishing spots.
