There is a spot next to the bridge on Pleasant St where you can put in a john boat or a canoe. I think if you want to get a real boat in there, you will need to know someone with property on the shore. If you want to immediately catch fish at the Res, you should head straight for south east corner which is directly up against the Wampatuck Country Club. There is a par 3 hole on the shore, where a cove cuts into the land. This spot is absolutely stacked with bass. You can fish the edges or the middle because there are boulders submerged everywhere which give the bass lots of structure. We've pulled a few 3 and 4 pound bass out of that cove, so that's always our go to spot.
Along the eastern shore there are two large inlets that you can fish if your boat can get into really shallow water, like 2-3 feet. Between the two inlets tho is a little rock pile that just barely pokes out of the water. There are plenty of bass congregating around this spot so feel free to drop anchor and cast a few at the drop offs.
If the water level does come back, and you're looking to fish from the shore, I've got the perfect spot for you. If you park behind the ENE building on Route 138, you will find a path that leads out to the water. I'm not advocating this spot right now just because the water level is way too low and it won't produce the number of fish that it used to.
We have had a little luck fishing in the middle of the reservoir but its pretty big and there aren't many drop offs to fish out there so it's usually just a crap shoot.
