Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 4.5–15.3 feet on our readings, averaging 9.4 feet, from 58 readings. Our water temperature readings average 74°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. These readings span 2017–2024.
What is hard here
Clarity swings from 4.5 to 15.3 feet between our readings — the water you meet is not the water someone photographed. Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
