I love this lake. I come to the awesome Four Seasons Resort on the lake every year with family. The fishing is amazing, I caught two 19 inch northern and a 20 inch northern. I caught a 17 inch walleye, a 15 and a half inch walleye, and a a 8 inch walleye. I caught some crappie, some perch, and tons of nice size bluegill. Its a great lake for watersports too. The Four Seasons Resort is a must stay on this lake.

Fished this lake in about '04 or '05. I don't think we gave it a real fair trial because too new to area fishing. Caught lots of hammer handles, had one real nice smallie on but jumped at boat and got off ( would have CPR anyway). Tried for muskie but no luck. This is too big a lake for one week. I going back to Vilas county and fish VV. much easier to fish.
