Fishing info

Top species in this area

  • Experience

    The fishing spot is equipped with amenities like parking, picnic areas, boat ramps, and wheelchair access, providing a comfortable fishing experience. There is a diverse range of fish species including largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and channel catfish, adding to the fishing opportunities. Popular activities like fly fishing and bank fishing are well-supported. However, some species, such as bucking bluegills, may present challenges due to overfishing and crowding, particularly during stocking periods. Crowding can also be an issue on popular fishing days.

  • Tips

    Familiarizing oneself with fish habitats and behaviors can enhance the fishing experience. Fishing right after trout stockings can increase success in bank fishing. Opting for boat or kayak fishing may yield better results for larger species compared to bank fishing. During summer, topwater fishing can be an option, though it requires patience due to potential crowding.
