About this spot

1 / 7

Experience

The fishing spot is accessible and offers amenities like parking and picnic areas, improving comfort. While the site is inclusive with wheelchair accessibility, excessive fishing pressure and negative impacts on certain fish species, such as largemouth bass, due to external factors can affect experiences. However, targeted techniques, as seen with successful catches of black crappie, can lead to fruitful outings. Bank fishing is generally not recommended in favor of boat or kayak fishing due to better conditions.
Tips

To enhance fishing success, visit during off-peak times and consider using smaller bass lures like the ned rig. Optimal fishing might be during early mornings or late evenings when temperatures are cooler. Depending on conditions, using a kayak may improve accessibility and fishing opportunities, as bank fishing may be challenging.
