Try to get as close to the dam wall as possible to get to the deeper water. The water is very shallow on the banks closer to the entrance, lots of small carp in that area but if you are after the larger ones get close to the dam wall.
Last time i was there the water level was very low and one could drive closer to the dam wall (just go as far left as possible after entering the gate), when the water levels pick up however you can't get close to the wall.
There is another private entrance that leads to the good spots to the left but we can only get in there because my old man has a key for the gate.
If you manage to get a good spot to the far left in the deeper water make sure you get as much distance as possible in your cast, we've seen this time and time again, close to the bank you get the babies and the bigger ones are in deeper water.
The dam is not known for it's monsters but there are big
swimming around there trust me.
