Water and conditions

Our water temperature readings average 70°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 6.7. These readings span 2017–2021. The latest reading is from 2021, more than three years ago: read these numbers as history, not as the water today.

What is hard here

Only 5 public ramps are on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
