Experience
The spot offers multiple access points for shore and boat fishing, catering to different fishing methods including fly fishing. Nevertheless, due to the lake's relatively young age, fish populations and size distribution are still developing, leading to generally smaller catches. Infrastructure supports evolving fishing experiences, although expectations for larger fish may not be met. Algae growth in mid-summer can further influence fishing quality negatively.
-
Tips
For better success, fish during early morning or late evening, particularly during the hotter months, and prioritize colder months to avoid algae growth. Fly fishing is recommended owing to the lake's features. To target larger fish, explore various spots and perhaps less congested areas, and be prepared for smaller catches. In mid-summer, adapt techniques to account for algae buildup by accessing deeper waters or using specific baits.
-
Fishing seasons
Fishing conditions are generally more favorable in the spring and fall, with stable conditions reported in late spring and early summer due to lower precipitation and calmer winds. The winter months exhibit limited strong wind events, which may contribute to stable fishing conditions. Conversely, mid-summer poses challenges due to high temperatures and algae growth, making fishing tougher during this time.
