I see people fishing at Lake Wheeler (from bank and in boats), Yates Mill (from the boardwalk), and Lake Johnson (also from the boardwalk) all the time.

Several of these warnings apply to Wake County. Current Fish Consumption Advice and Advisories in North Carolina

Bond Lake is good for catfish.

Kerr Lake is full of fish and about a 45 minute drive to the triangle.

Jordan Lake. Also, there is one spot on the Cary Park lake where the lady feeds the fish daily, if you find that spot its like catching fish in a barrel (no boats on that lake though).
