Water and conditions

Water clarity runs 3–9.5 feet on our readings, averaging 5.7 feet, from 108 readings. Our water temperature readings average 69°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 35°F and the warmest is 84°F; the warmest monthly average is 79°F. pH averages 8.5. These readings span 2016–2024.

Fee and opening hours are blank for all 2 places in this list: 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

Clarity swings from 3 to 9.5 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.
