Many times.  Yes, I've caught small lake trout and rainbow trout and yellow perch.  For lakers you would need a boat, sinking lines, big streamer patterns and lots of luck.  You should find rainbows on the usual--but buggers are definitely in the zone.  And, yes, weedlines as per a prior post. And in shallower water, you should find plenty of willing yellow perch, which is a nice mid-day diversion, especially if kids are involved.

 

But, if you're there for a few days, let me give you another idea!  Just to the northeast and joined by a stream between is Johnson Reservoir (aka Johnson Valley Reservoir).  When I last fished there, it was a mediocre put-and-take rainbow trout fishery.  Now, there are tiger muskies.  (Link attached.)

 


My brother was perch fishing the stream in between Johnson and Fish Lake a couple of years ago when a tiger muskie surprised him (aaaaaand, bit through the line).

 

Yes, I'd fish Fish Lake, but I'd drive on up to Johnson, as well.  Beautiful country.
