Stream fishing in Great Trough Creek provides a variety of warmwater and coolwater fish, including:
- Trout
- Smallmouth bass
- Rock bass
- Sucker
- Panfish
During recent years, shad fish netting has become popular each spring when these fish enter tributaries of Raystown Lake to spawn.
Lake fishing is available via a short walk along Terrace Mountain Trail to a sheltered cove of Raystown Lake.
