This is a well-known stocking spot and you can catch some fish here but expect them to be small and expect to have a lot of company because everyone knows about the spot. There are far more scenic areas with just as good fishing that might be worth your time to find them instead.
Wish y'all would stop leaving your garbage at every single fishing spot but I guess that's too much to ask for. I'll do a clean up next time I'm over there. Leave. No. Trace.
Great spot to fish when people aren't crashing it as a camp site. Close to the road & on the river makes it convenient. The no camping signs always disappear and it's just not big enough. Unfortunately, folks typically leave it in a mess.
Really neat old steel bridge with access to the river on the opposite side of the road and a trail on the other
