I've had great luck at Sanford dam in the past. tons of nice gills and crappie as well as plenty of nice smallies and catfish...even the occasional musky. Might be worth a try one day. If you don't know where it is google "Sanford bait shop", its right by the water.Probably neither I'm going to go probably go on a lake in neighboring buena vista. I can never catch fish on the river even though i live like less than a 3 minute drive to the Saginaw river lol.
