Well people start a lot of threads asking for help on this lake, so I started one with a bunch of info on all the species in the lake. Enjoy!
Commonwealth Lake- Bass: Fish for them at the start of the pond on the dock closest to the soccer field. Fish parrallel to the bank next to the outflow pipe. Fish a whole nightcrawler under a bobber. Dont set the hook immidietly. The fish is gonna take it around that little area there and up to the overhanging tree. When it comes back around towards you, it is gonna take the bobber completely under, now or never set the hook. if you miss it reel in put a new crawler on and try again. If you dont miss it you will land a 4-6 lb bass.
Trout- Immidietly after stocking- use power bait and power eggs any where around the lake. simple as that.
Couple weeks after stocking- use worms under a bobber. Fish the side of the lake opposite of the soccer field. If you are on the side of the lake with the dam, keep going on that side till you reach a clearing on the bank. That is my little honey hole. it is the last clearing before you get to that dock on that side. Best trout spot for about a month till the weeds get there. Then wait till next season.
Catfish- The majority of the cats you catch will be bullheads. Fish a quarter ounce slider and about twelve inches leader later tie a small treble hook. Put a gob of worm on there and cast out. Fish the area on the dock next to the soccer field. Fish before dusk and intill about ten. Then go home cuz the wierd people start showing up lol. Biggest bullhead I have seen caught out there was about 17 inches.
Bluegill- June is the best time on this lake for bluegill. Nightcrawler bits under a bobber on the dock next to the soccer field. Fish by the outflow pipe. You will get a ton of gills there.
Carp- when the water is reel low like now, fish corn with the least weight possible(slider) and fish the side opposite of the soccer field.
Sturgeon- I have wittnessed a 30 inch sturgeon pulled out of there. It was released so it could very well still be in there!
This is the most info you can get online so if you read this you will be an expert on this lake now. I learned all this after fishing about 200+ hours on this lake this past year.

Not nearly as much patience as I have! Yesterday around 6 p.m. lots of people were fishing there, but didn't see anybody catching anything. My son asked "can we go now?" several times and I finally gave up - probably just before they started biting.
