About this spot

1 / 5

Experience

The fishing spot includes both bank and boat fishing facilities, accommodating different preferences for anglers. It is family-friendly, equipped with picnic areas and fishing piers. Species like largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and channel catfish offer good fishing prospects.

While there are reports of successful fishing results using specific techniques, anglers have noted inconsistent fish activity and possible competition with carp.
Tips

Anglers are advised to adjust their strategies according to seasonal changes, using deep diving lures and jigs for effective fishing. Tailwaters and areas near dams are promising spots but require careful navigation due to strong currents. Peak times can get crowded, potentially affecting the fishing experience. Utilization of both bank and boat approaches increases the chances of a successful catch.
