There is a one lane cement ramp on the north side of the northwest arm. Did fairly well last fall (october) trolling zip lures along west side of lake for walleyes, but mostly dinks.

After the spring spawn, best way to catch crappie here is slow trolling with minnow tipped tube jig in 8-12 fow.
Can be rewarded with walleye
