One of the best bass lakes I've ever fished. Already landed nine 5lb+ bass from this lake within 2017 & 2018 from a kayak. It definitely can be tough at times but if you fish it right and take your time, you will be rewarded!

If you just want to see or catch a Musky, this is the place to go. Also known as the "petting zoo" or "bowl", this lake is packed with musky, it's a small lake, and easy to fish. Caught my first Musky here, which is probably true for a lot of anglers :) Not too many real big Musky, but there are 40 inchers in there. I know there are nice Largemouth in there too, but other than that, not sure this is the greatest lake to fish for anything else.
