Summary
The lake is known for its abundance of bass, crappie, and bluegill. The area offers plenty of activities like hiking, camping, birdwatching, and boating. To increase your chances of catching fish, try using live bait or lures that imitate the natural prey of the fish. The best time to visit is in the fall when the temperature ranges from 60-80°F. This is when the fish are most active, and the weather is mild enough to enjoy a day of fishing without getting too hot.

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.
