This is a summary based on available information.

Moderate-depth, moderate-clarity lakes like Upper Gresham typically hold panfish, bass, pike, and possibly walleyes, with fish using weedlines, points, and mid-depth breaks. Anglers can often find action in 6–14 feet with jigs, live bait, and small crankbaits, shifting shallower in low light and slightly deeper during bright, calm periods. For cabin owners, Upper Gresham offers a flexible, family-friendly fishery that supports everything from quick evening outings to more deliberate, pattern-driven days on the water.

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.
