Fishery History

The lake receives supplemental stockings of Channel Catfish and Largemouth Bass. It is also stocked with Rainbow Trout in the fall and spring. These programs provide the most fishing opportunities possible for this small public water with very heavy fishing and harvest pressure. The Largemouth Bass population maintains very good numbers and fair size and quality. Current management practices and stocking programs should continue to provide quality fishing opportunities in the future.
