Summary
Apart from fishing, visitors can enjoy other activities such as hiking, camping, bird-watching, and kayaking. Anglers can increase their chances of catching fish by targeting areas with vegetation and using live bait. The best time to visit is during the winter months from December to February when the average temperature is around 70°F. During this time, the fish are more active and easier to catch.

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.
