About this spot

Fishing info

  • Experience

    The spot supports both fly and bank fishing, featuring species like yellow perch and northern pike. An abundance of small perch may limit catching larger fish, but the 'Put and take' system suggests replenished stocks for a consistent supply.

  • Tips

    Focus on fly fishing during calm wind conditions in summer. Be mindful of high winds over 27 mph in winter. Target early morning or late evening for more active fish and better catch rates.
