The Ponds
The fishery features two distinct ponds. The first, known as the 'Figure of 8', boasts a unique shape with varying depths. Starting shallow at three to four feet, it drops steeply to over ten feet halfway across before shallowing again to around six feet. The uneven lake bottom adds an extra layer of interest for anglers. Just north of the Figure of 8 is the 'Big Lake', which has an irregular shape with several large bays and an island. Depths here range from three feet to over ten feet, offering diverse fishing spots.
