Experience
Fishing at this spot provides a diverse and potentially rewarding experience, highlighted by successful catches of large rainbow and brown trout. The availability of bank fishing, boat ramps, wheelchair access, and family-friendly amenities like picnic areas contributes positively to the overall experience.

Tips
Fly fishing can be optimized by using a 5ips sink line with flies such as a black wolly bugger with red or olive with a bead head, which may improve catch rates. It is advisable to carry a variety of tackle to adapt to the rocky areas susceptible to snagging. Fishers should prepare for periods of slow fishing, maintaining patience and perhaps extending their fishing hours. Caution is advised due to rocky terrain that could lead to tackle losses.
