Water and conditions

Water clarity runs 11.5–18.2 feet on our readings, averaging 15.3 feet, from 79 readings. Our water temperature readings average 69°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 7.7. These readings span 2017–2025.

What is hard here

Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
