Summary
Best fishing spots include the southern shoreline near the picnic area and the inlet on the east side where water flow attracts fish. There are no boat ramps or piers; fishing is shoreline-only. The pond is regularly stocked with rainbow trout during cooler months (winter through early spring), and also contains largemouth bass and bluegill year-round. Use PowerBait or worms for trout, especially near the inlet; soft plastics or spinnerbaits work well for bass. Early mornings and late afternoons yield the best bites.

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.
