Experience

The site provides a robust fishing experience with a range of amenities, including boat ramps and piers, enhancing accessibility. There is a reported abundance of species such as large smallmouth bass, monster bass, and pike, indicating a diverse fish population. Various methods like bank and fly fishing are supported, catering to different preferences. Despite these positives, fishing without a boat can be restricted during certain seasons, mainly outside of late spring to fall, and recent climate changes have lessened ice fishing success.
Tips

Fishers should prepare by bringing a variety of lures and light gear to adapt to the diverse species. Fishing near docks and using topwater techniques are rewarding, particularly in the fall. Finesse lures targeting structures can improve chances of catching smallmouth bass. Caution is advised during ice fishing due to recent warming trends affecting ice stability. Those without a boat should prioritize fishing from late spring through fall for better accessibility.
Fishing seasons

The fishing spot experiences favorable conditions particularly during the summer months of June to August, when temperatures are warm and wind speeds are lower, creating ideal fishing environments. May to September are considered optimal for a variety of fish species due to the warmer temperatures. However, ice fishing is adversely affected by the warming climate, especially in January and February when ice formation is unreliable. Additionally, increased wind and precipitation in November and December may complicate fishing activities.
