Water and conditions

Water clarity runs 1.2–4.4 feet on our readings, averaging 2.6 feet, from 84 readings. Our water temperature readings average 67°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 53°F and the warmest is 76°F; the warmest monthly average is 72°F. pH averages 7.4. These readings span 2018–2024.

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.

What is hard here

Clarity swings from 1.2 to 4.4 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.
