Top species in this area

  • Experience

    The spot offers a diverse mix of fish species, such as smallmouth and largemouth bass, and rainbow trout, enhancing varied fishing experiences. It is highly accessible and family-friendly, featuring amenities like parking, picnic areas, wheelchair access, piers, docks, and boat ramps. However, some smallmouth bass may require specific lure tactics. While clear water conditions favor fishing, some changes in fishing conditions could affect catch rates over time.

  • Tips

    For optimized success, use bright lure colors like chartreuse, orange, and white, especially for smallmouth bass. Employing bank fishing, fly fishing, and pier fishing methods is effective at this location. To increase catch rates, understanding fish habitats and using appropriate gear is crucial, as smallmouth bass can be particularly challenging without specific lure strategies.
