This is a summary based on available information.

Shallow, clear lakes like Tambling often produce good panfish and bass fishing, with pike using weed edges and small depth changes as ambush cover. Because the water is clear and the lake is small, fish are sensitive to disturbance, which makes stealthy approaches, longer casts, and low‑light periods especially effective. Anglers typically work shoreline weeds, small pockets, and any slightly deeper troughs with small jigs, live bait, and finesse plastics, reserving topwaters and other surface lures for dawn and dusk. For cabin owners, Tambling provides an easy, close‑quarters fishery where even short outings can be productive without the need to travel far or fight big‑lake conditions.

I had AI give me the coordinates for the launches I had on file. They are not super accurate, but should give a rough idea of where you can find the landings. If no coordinates were available at all I didn't link to the map.
