Experience
The fishing experience at this spot is generally positive, enhanced by the presence of diverse fish species such as Channel catfish, Smallmouth bass, and Rainbow trout. Accessibility is improved due to parking facilities, trails, and boat ramps, making it convenient for fishers. However, obstructions in the water can lead to snags, and some report that fishing catches are not as abundant as they used to be.
-
Tips
Taking advantage of the available boat ramps improves water access, although bank fishing remains a viable choice. Using cicada bait during a hatch can be particularly effective for attracting fish such as Bluegill and Crappie. Fishers should remain vigilant for underwater debris to avoid line snags and potential damage.
