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.

Water and conditions

Water clarity runs 2.6–8.5 feet on our readings, averaging 4.7 feet, from 41 readings. Our water temperature readings average 69°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. These readings span 2017–2025.

What is hard here

Clarity swings from 2.6 to 8.5 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.
