Have come here to Ice fish first time on open water. Had a friend lend me a boat that couldn’t get launched alone with all the wind today. Tried to wade out and cast for a while with no success. Either way the lake is stunning. Anyone going out from the state park and has a seat available pm me. Drove 7 hours and want to catch and release some eyes

Good lake for walleye, smallmouth, and perch...but thats all I ever catch here. Took me a whole week to catch a legal sized walleye, but you will catch lots of them. Would catch walleye and smallmouth right of the dock for a good two hours non stop during the evening. Any perch colors really work well!
