Water and conditions

Our water temperature readings average 61°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 41°F and the warmest is 81°F; the warmest monthly average is 76°F. These readings span 2016–2019. The latest reading is from 2019, more than three years ago: read these numbers as history, not as the water today.

What is hard here

Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
