Summary
Apart from fishing, visitors can also enjoy activities like camping, picnicking, and boating. Fishing tips include using bait like nightcrawlers, chicken liver, and shrimp to catch catfish, and using power bait or lures to catch trout. The best time to visit is from late spring to early summer when the temperatures average around 70-80°F. However, the lakes are open year-round, so visitors can enjoy fishing in any season.

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.
