Plan with the official agency
Official park information describes ordinary day-use fishing and license purchase, without a fishing lottery requirement.
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.
