This is a summary based on available information.

Shallow, stained lakes like Horsehead typically host abundant panfish, largemouth bass, and northern pike, with weed growth providing extensive cover. Presentations that work through or along vegetation—spinnerbaits, weedless plastics, slip-bobbers—tend to produce well, especially in early and late day periods. Because of the lower visibility, fish may be less line-shy than in clear lakes, which can be an advantage for family anglers learning the ropes.
