Summary
Best fishing spots include the dam area for trout and walleye, the inlet for perch, and coves along the north shore for bass. Shore fishing is excellent around the picnic areas and boat ramps, while boat access improves success for walleye and pike. Use jigs, swimbaits, and minnows for walleye and bass; PowerBait or worms for trout. Spring and fall are top seasons, especially near rocky drop-offs and submerged structures. Two boat ramps and shoreline trails provide easy access.

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.
