About this no-lottery opportunity

The agency identifies this named water for ordinary public recreational fishing. The cited rules use a directly purchased fishing license or lake permit, rather than a draw, for the listed fish. This classification excludes special events and camping reservations.

No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.

Agency sources reviewed 2026-10-07. No-draw classification is an inference from the official public-fishing listing and ordinary fishing licensing rules. Use only the public access shown by the agency; a listing does not authorize crossing private shorelines. Public entry is arranged with the agency, with no Back40 booking fee.
