Default Centennial Park-Watauga Lake

i didnt know you were allowed to fish in watauga lake except for the annual catfish derby. What other types of fish are in there?

I work downtown so I've fished the lake at Centennial Park for years on my lunch break. There is a sign on the north end that says "no fishing at this end of the lake" so I just fish the other sides. It's very shallow, has almost no structure, and gets stagnant from time to time, so it's not great, but it's 10 minutes from my office. I have seen 4-5 lb LM, 8-10 inch white crappie, 4-5 lb catfish, and 8 inch bream in the lake. I don't target grass carp, but there used to be some monsters there before the drought a couple years ago killed most of them.
