Water and conditions

Our water temperature readings average 68°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 8.6. These readings span 2017–2018. The latest reading is from 2018, 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.
