  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Nearby survey and observation records mention channel catfish and green sunfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. This water gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns
