I used to live down the road and it was my "home" water for 7 years or so. Used to catch large bass (my biggest was a 21" largie), nice bluegill, the odd catfish, an occasional crappie, and the only walleye(17") I've ever caught. I caught a 13" crappie there once, too. Once the DWR got their easement on it, I haven't caught anything but catfish from it, but one of those was my biggest cat to date at 24".
A DWR officer told me the main problem with the water is a good forage base; the fish all basically just eat each other's fry. Also told me it is owned by an irrigation and livestock co-op, and sometimes is used for potable water.
Please don't swim or boat there. People (teens) are always putting up rope swings and stuff and partying and drinking and littering comes and goes in waves. Too much of that will lose us all access.
