Water and conditions
Our water temperature readings average 70°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 43°F and the warmest is 90°F; the warmest monthly average is 84°F. pH averages 7.3. These readings span 2016–2023.
What is hard here
Winter water drops to 45°F, and the warm-water species stop feeding well before you do. Summer water sits at 84°F: heat and afternoon lightning are the real risks, not the fishing.
