Experience

The fishing experience at this site is diverse, as suggested by the capture of various species such as walleye, bass, and catfish. It supports different fishing styles with infrastructure for both boat-based and bank fishing. This spot also offers family-friendly amenities, including picnic areas and trails, enhancing comfort and appeal for family visits. Accessibility is a priority here, with facilities available for wheelchair users. However, the area is reported to be private, potentially limiting access, and some anglers have expressed dissatisfaction due to a high bait-miss ratio, which may indicate challenges in fish density or responsiveness.
Tips

To optimize fishing success, anglers should try various lures as fish responsiveness appears to vary. Fishing in early mornings or late evenings is advisable when temperatures are moderate and winds calm. The area allows for fishing from both piers and banks, offering flexibility in fishing styles. Be cautious of private property restrictions and consider contacting local residents for access permissions. It is also wise to avoid peak times such as July 4th and similar events that may cause disturbances, instead opting for quieter fishing periods.
Fishing seasons

The fishing conditions across the year at this spot offer a broad range of temperatures from 267°F in January to 298°F in July and August, making it suitable for fishing in every season. These temperature variations create opportunities not only during the day but also at night as temperatures generally remain above freezing. Although higher wind speeds were noted in early spring 2022, with 12-18 m/s, resulting in challenging fishing conditions, the rest of the year, especially in 2023, experiences calm periods and moderate 4-6 m/s winds, particularly during the warmer months. Prime months like June and July benefit from low precipitation levels, further enhancing favorable fishing conditions. However, anglers should prepare for lower temperatures in January and December, which may limit opportunities to only the most committed fishers.
