Lots of gizzard shad in the lake, when it warms up you will see schools and schools of them all over the lake. There are yellow perch in the lake and I have heard of some pretty nice ones being caught but I'm not sure how big of a population there is of them.

Big John, I don't know if Octoraro is the lake you want to learn deep water fishing on. This reservior is difficult to figure out. I fish it alot because I live up the road from it but I think it is really a hard lake to fish. if you don't do good the first time don't give up. Fish very slow. MikeS
