Stopped at the launch on Benson last Sunday. Most shore fishers had at least 3 fish, most 10 - 12, some 14". Lake has a rather big parking lot but shore spots are somewhat limited. It would certainly be worth a try. Take the Mascon Lake County Park turn off from Highway 3, then turn left on Benson Lake road. Launch is a short ways down on the right. (If you hit the 76 station / store, you've gone too far and passed the Benson Lake turn.)
