Experience

The fishing spot provides a diverse experience with options like bank, fly, and put & take fishing, complemented by amenities such as parking, picnic areas, and trails suitable for family outings. Rich fish species including flathead catfish, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and trout suggest abundant fishing opportunities.

However, occasional big catch losses may indicate potential equipment challenges, and certain areas with muddy waters may affect fish activity.
Tips

Fishermen are advised to understand specific spot conditions to avoid risks near bank edges or boat ramps. Using bubblegum pink Senkos is effective for targeting smallmouth bass due to their lure preference. Exploring various river sections is recommended for diverse experiences, including potential trophy-sized catches. It is advisable to steer clear of boat ramps to reduce equipment loss risk and use vibrating or scented lures in muddy waters to counteract reduced fish visibility.
