When you can go
Use the official area rules for current species seasons, legal hours and any area-specific closures. This record does not confirm access for a particular date.
Area restrictions
Lake Margery is closed to fishing and boating until further notice. Dove Pond has youth and seasonal restrictions. This entry excludes WMA hunting.
Plan with the official agency
The agency offers ordinary public fishing through direct-purchase fishing licenses; no fishing drawing is listed for the covered access.
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. Public entry is arranged with the agency, with no Back40 booking fee.
