About this spot

1 / 6

Experience

The fishing spot offers a variety of trout species, although anglers may face challenges due to heavy fishing pressure and increased noise from recreational activities. Access amenities like parking, picnic areas, and shore fishing trails contribute to a comfortable and family-friendly experience. However, the abundance of anglers can affect catch rates, and timing visits to avoid crowded periods can enhance the experience.
Tips

Successful fishing techniques include fly fishing with strategies like euro nymphing, particularly in deeper pools. Adjusting fly sizes and combinations can also improve catch rates. Anglers should aim to fish during less crowded times to enjoy peaceful surroundings and potentially better results. Having extra flies on hand is advisable due to potential early morning break-offs.
