The diverse fisheries in this zone reward anglers who adapt their approach.

Shore access is available at many locations, making this zone ideal for wading anglers and those without boats. A basic setup with a spinning rod, size 6 hooks, and a selection of soft plastics can produce fish at nearly every spot in this zone.
