Summary
Popular spots include the confluence area, fishing piers, and near the boat ramp off Hospital Road. Anglers can catch largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, bluegill, crappie, and carp. Spring and fall are prime times for bass and crappie, while catfish bite best in summer. Effective baits include nightcrawlers, minnows, soft plastics, and crankbaits. Shore access is plentiful, especially near the ramps and piers, though small boats or kayaks allow access to quieter river bends and coves where fish often concentrate.

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.
