Summary
The best fishing is from the easily accessible shoreline; no boats are allowed. Fish congregate near shaded banks and around the inlet where fresh water enters. Spring and fall offer the most active trout bites. Use barbless hooks as required, with small spinners (like Panther Martins) or PowerBait in bright colors. Fly anglers also find success with woolly buggers and nymphs. Check local regulations before visiting, as the site is managed for youth and educational fishing programs.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
