A Different Kind of Pay Lake

  • We are a family-friendly, catch-and-release fishing facility.
  • Fishing is by appointment only during daylight hours.
  • We offer personal attention to anyone needing assistance.

If you are looking for night-time fishing or huge blue catfish and flat head catfish, we are not your pay lake.
