Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 2.7–5.2 feet on our readings, averaging 3.9 feet, from 62 readings. Our water temperature readings average 80°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 59°F and the warmest is 90°F; the warmest monthly average is 87°F. pH averages 7.9. These readings span 2018–2025.

The place listed has no fee or opening hours on file: a blank means we hold no such field, not that it is free or always open, and this list may not be complete.
What is hard here
Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish. Summer water sits at 87°F: heat and afternoon lightning are the real risks, not the fishing.
