Great Largemouth lake for Central Wisconsin in both size and numbers. Avg fish 2-3 lbs. Crappies and bluegills good numbers, but avg size at best. Pike vary year to year. A couple years ago good numbers of high 20 inch-low 30 inch, but falling off the last couple of years. Every once in a while you can catch a walleye mixed in. The weeds get bad by mid summer so fish early and late in season.
