When you can go

Area restrictions
Electric motors only; an inland trout stamp is required for trout fishing. Check current species-specific fishing seasons and bag limits.
Plan with the official agency
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.
