Mason & Evergreen Lakes are a pair of smaller lakes that receive less fishing pressure than many of the bigger, popular lakes in the area. However, the fishing can be quite good here, especially if you can venture from Mason Lake into Evergreen Lake. The canal that leads back in Evergreen Lake can be challenging to get through depending on your boat and the current water levels. Ideally, it’s a great place to venture back into with smaller rowboats, canoes, kayaks or inflatables. Most anglers do report that the fishing is better in Evergreen Lake, but both lakes have fishable populations of several different species of fish.
