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
Our water temperature readings average 74°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 8.2. These readings span 2016–2025.
What is hard here
Wind is the limit, not the fish: 7,600 acres of open water build a short steep chop, and there is no shelter in the middle. Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
