Fish species to expect

Sandy soils and small wetlands; ponds and slow streams hold bluegill and bass. Common species include bluegill largemouth bass and other warmwater species in park ponds and streams.

Best places to cast

Ponds, slow stream pockets and wetland edges near vegetation hold panfish and bass. Use maintained access points and trails.

Reading water and signs

Look for weedlines and calm backwaters in ponds. In streams watch for deeper runs and undercut banks.

Approach and etiquette

Stay on trails, respect private property, and avoid trampling sensitive habitats. Pack out all trash.

Essentials to bring

Light tackle polarized glasses insect repellent and a small net. Carry park maps and regulations.
