Most of the fish in here are bullheads. There are some bass and panfish but bullhead are everywhere...

This is a lake I grew up on, so please keep it clean! First off the lake is much deeper then 8 feet, closer to 15 right now, and it is now connected to sweet lake. There are many fish and bird species, a nice place to enjoy nature. Northern pike are common but illusive, please don't use suckers for bait! Keep the invasive fish like carp out of lake...! There is no public landing, so if your planning a trip here. You will have to get permission from a land owner for access, or camp at hickory hills, they'll rent you a canoe lol.. good luck, and keep your stick on the ice!
