Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include green sunfish, yellow bullhead, bluegill and gizzard shad. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. At Cox Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

  The warm month here averages 82°F; the cold one sits at 42°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early.
