I've often fished both sides over the years. Blacktail is better for perch and juniper is decent for bass. Both are good for trout. Keep in mind this is from shore fishing. If you have a boat the dynamic changes and both ends are good all around. For blacktail I'll usually fish the docks. The slope is so gradual that it's tough to get to even moderately deeper water from shore. Fish are often there but I snag a lot too. Here I'll use a small jig around 1/8 oz and a pinch of worm. Drop it to bottom the set it about six inches off bottom and wait occasionally jigging it. Will move often until I get some interest then settle in. Will often cast out same rig and jig it back while moving. From juniper side I usually use panther martins up to 1/4 oz size and preferably in holographic patterns but others often work well. Straight off the side of the parking area down to the water from there up res to the first cove I'll fan cast letting the spinner sink up to ten seconds then a slow to moderate retrieve. I'll gradually works my way up and down the shoreline and can usually pick up a few. Have seen and caught bass this way as well. Get yourself a boat and we can talk other options as well.
