Elk river is a great place to fish if you want to get a little wet and be in some strong currents! It’s super fun to just be out in the water and be fishing! Also it’s kinda a joy to try and land a fish while in the water I caught a couple good fish there when I was younger like a couple BIG pike and some small bass!!! Overall it’s a great fishing spot and I think that everybody will love it! Go follow my Fishbrain and YouTube @TheWildOutDoors
Absolutely beautiful lake. Personally didn’t catch much but it’s a rough time of year, this lake seems to be plentiful with largemouth and Northerns. I’m sure I’ll come back and give it another go sometime! WARNING: the public access landing is VERY shallow, the water is only about 6 inches deep when the dock ends, so come prepared to get wet!
