Schoen's Cove
  • Type of Facility: Fish Attractor

    This is one of the shallower brushpiles and is approximately 10 feet deep when the reservoir is full. It is easy to locate just NE of the boat ramp and is marked with a buoy. There are currently 30 cedar trees anchored with large cinder blocks spread across a large area. Historically, this was an excellent location to catch largemouth bass and crappie when the lake is at conservation.


Marina Cove Point
  • Type of Facility: Fish Attractor
  • Location of Facility: N039 30.310’ W098 20.170’
  • Click for more information

    This fish attractor located just south of the north marina pier is 14-18 feet deep when the reservoir is full. It is infrequently maintained and consists of around 70-80 cedar trees, but can occasionally offer some decent crappie fishing during the spring and through the ice. Channel catfish are also caught off this brush pile during the spring and summer months.

    This brush pile was upgraded in April 2008 with the addition of another 20 Christmas trees.

    We really beefed up this brush pile with the addition of 60 large cedar trees in March 2014.
