Summary
Shore access is available at the public boat ramp and along the riverside, but boat access opens up productive backwaters and deeper channels. Fish near eddies, submerged structure, and bends—especially in spring and early summer for walleye and bass. Use crankbaits, jigs tipped with minnows or worms, and soft plastics. Catfish bite well on cut bait in warmer months. Seasonal flows affect fish locations, with spring offering top action. The area includes a concrete boat ramp, parking, and primitive amenities.

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.
