Pressure is anything but low. You won't find a spot in either parking lot past 9:30 a.m. on weekends when the weather turns nice. Police are often out ticketing cars parked on the side of the road. The bucket brigade discovered this lake years ago and hammered it. I would say it probably isn't worth the effort to drag a kayak up (assuming it is legal to do so).
That’s too bad. Hopefully I can get there mid-week a few times to see how it fishes. Very curious to see what I can coax out of there. And I do have a $300 float tube in my bps cart. Can’t seem to pull the trigger! There’s too many good kayak lakes I hit to feel the need I guess. But I’ve heard float tubing is a pretty cool way to access less pressured water.
