Plan with the official agency
The agency documents public recreational fishing at this named access, using ordinary fishing licenses or direct-purchase entry. This record excludes controlled events and any separately restricted activities.
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.
