  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. County-wide records name bluegill, common carp and yellow bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 77°F; the cold one sits at 21°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid March. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid March in spring and again near mid December in autumn. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Expect this water to follow that timing.
