About this spot

Fishing info

  • Experience

    The spot offers a promising fishing experience with amenities like parking, piers, docks, trails, and picnic areas adding to the comfort and convenience for fishers. There's good availability of species like bass and catfish, especially at night, and many fishers report consistent success. However, carp abundance can disrupt targeted fishing, and snags and obstructions can present challenges. Despite limited data on infrastructure quality, the overall fishing opportunities seem favorable.

  • Tips

    Bottom baits are recommended for bass fishing, and better results can be expected from night fishing. Caution is advised in shallow areas due to a high risk of losing gear to snags and sticks.

  • Fishing seasons

    The spot experiences a wide range of temperatures from 20°F in January to 77°F in July, making it generally accommodating except for the colder winter months, which are less favorable due to lower temperatures and higher wind speeds. Spring sees a gradual rise in temperatures, beneficial for early fishing activities, though March can be challenging with increased precipitation. Summer's lighter wind speeds make it ideal for fishing.
