Perfect for all skill level of anglers. Kids can come and learn to fish catching an abundant amount of blue gill and the more advanced fisherman can go for largemouth bass, catfish, pike, and carp. Just no swimming, the snapping turtles are huge! Just wish there were more spots for disability access so people in wheelchairs can enjoy fishing here too.
When I was fishing here I Caught a ton of fish what I found most effective is throw a Texas riged Sanco and when the sun starts to go down I threw a jitter bug and whopper plopper and I would get a fish every other cast. Be careful though because there are tons of weeds.
