Summary

Anglers commonly catch smallmouth bass, walleye, catfish, and panfish. Spring and fall are prime seasons, especially for bass and walleye, which respond well to jigs, crankbaits, and live minnows. Catfish bite best in summer using cut bait or nightcrawlers. Fish near current breaks, rocky bottoms, and deeper channels. The dock and adjacent shoreline are the best fishing spots, with good parking and accessibility. Ideal for casual anglers seeking river action without a boat.

Angling Safety Guidelines

Know the Regulations
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.
