About this spot

Fishing info

Top species in this area

  • Experience

    The fishing spot offers a diverse variety of fish including rock bass, yellow bullhead, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass, providing a rich fishing experience. Though low water levels may impact success and some targeted species like crappie may be limited in size, the presence of amenities such as parking, trails, and a picnic area enhance the experience. The location is family-friendly and supports both bank and fly fishing, although there might be a lack of infrastructure for larger-scale activities like boat ramps.

  • Tips

    For successful fishing, it's crucial to check water levels in advance and choose moments when levels are higher for better results. Exploring various ponds can lead to a wider variety of catches. Using tube jigs or swimbaits downstream can attract aggressive bites, and wading is advisable during favorable conditions. However, high winds can affect fly fishing, so checking the wind forecast is recommended.
