Summary
The lake is stocked with panfish (bluegill, crappie, perch), largemouth bass, and northern pike. Spring and early summer are best for bass and panfish near the pier and weed edges; fall offers solid pike action. Use live bait like worms or minnows for panfish and bass; spinnerbaits and spoons work well for pike. No boat access is needed—shore fishing from the pier is productive, especially in morning and evening hours.

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.
