Those are great looking fish and that 27 inch rainbow is impressive!
The main boat ramp has been pulled out and so there are no launching facilities. You could carry a small boat or kayak down to the water where the ramp normally is and launch with no problem although you'd have to carry it a fair way, maybe 80 yards or so. You can get pretty close to the waters edge all around the reservoir, within 2 feet, as the bank has had time to dry out. The boat launch area would also be a good location to access the shore for bank fishing. You could also easily access the dam itself by going through the trees of the parking lot located west and above of the boat ramp (the first dirt road before the turnoff to the boat ramp).
The other anglers that I saw were still fishing from the bank (with bait I presume) and catching rainbows. They were on the east end of the dam and close to the concrete overflow chute that comes down the south side. One guy was using multiple poles. No one was throwing jigs for panfish or bass. There were no watercraft on the reservoir (boats, kayaks, or float tubes).
