Oak Creek Power Plant Fishing Pier

Just want to let everyone here know that the fishing pier at the Elm Road Generating Station (or some like to call it Oak Creek Fishing Pier) will open at sunrise tomorrow March 15th. As of this afternoon the lake was very rough and dirty water on the outside but clean water coming through the plant as that water is taken from out in the lake a mile and a half.

Someone asked earlier if you can park at the fishing pier parking lot and drag a kayak across the beach to the water, that answer is no you cannot.

Good fishing this year, remember the pier can close on any day during early spring due to inclement weather that may cause ice of snow.

You could drag a small boat across the ice to get to open water right now but that's about it.

I'm wondering if it's okay to park at the power plant and drag a kayak to the beach. Anybody know?

Anyone been to the launch today? Still frozen? Or can it be broken up? 
Thanks if anyone responds. 

Just a reminder to all that the fishing pier at this site at Oak Creek will close for the year tomorrow at sunset November 15. It will reopen again March 15, 2024.

Thank you for being safe this year! Hope you had a good year of fishing.

Sorry for the late notice but the fishing pier will be closed right away this morning for some last-minute maintenance, it is anticipated that the fishing pier will reopen around 10:00 this morning. Again, sorry for the late notice.

For a reminder for everyone, we-energies fishing pier will close at this location for the winter starting on November 15th at sunset and will reopen on March 15 at sunrise.

Thank you. 

Most of the time its just a report of when the power plant is doing work with one of the two discharges shut down which significantly affects the bite.  When both are running the bite is decent .......... as if you were 100 yards off shore in a boat.  Yep!

THANK YOU Jimmy!  At least I know my posts are being seen by somebody!  Ive not fished there before and am trying to get as much info as I can.

Thanks again for your response!

Well its kinda like fish reports of a lake... IF guys reported their catches there you wouldn't even be able to get to the parking lot... So if your interested go fish if you get something report it and the next day the crowd will be there.

Does anybody use this sight to report catches or conditions OR ANYTHING?  I see NO new postings!

How deep is the turbine exhaust water channel that's running out into the lake?  I saw guys fishing it with bobbers and live bait with the bobber set at only around 5 to 6 ft.  I would think its considerably deeper than that!
