Top species in this area

  • Experience

    The fishing spot accommodates anglers with several amenities, including parking, picnic areas, trails, and wheelchair access, enhancing comfort and inviting a family-friendly atmosphere. Bank fishing is available, and the lake supports various fish species such as largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and bluegill, with personal bests indicating a potential for rewarding catches. Fly fishing is recognized as an opportunity here despite the challenges in landing some species such as trout. Some anglers note that leaving trails could improve the chances for quality catches, though fishing pressure might affect catch rates for certain species.

  • Tips

    For improved results, explore different parts of the lake, as fish may gather away from usual spots. It is advisable to use a variety of lures to cater to the mix of fish species present. Given the mixed success rates with certain fish, including trout, varying techniques and times may also prove beneficial. Be prepared for the possibility of not always catching preferred species.

  • Fishing seasons

    The fishing conditions vary considerably throughout the year at this location. Summer months are favorable for fishing, with stable and warmer temperatures that enhance the activity of certain fish species. Spring offers a balance of moderate temperatures and wind, beneficial for fly fishing, and lower precipitation rates in late spring and summer contribute to clearer water, improving the angling experience. However, cooler temperatures in late fall and winter can reduce fish activity, and increased winds during winter might complicate fishing in open waters. Occasional rain in spring and fall might influence access to some fishing areas.
