Always has great bite for any species your after, but it is a lake that I have to put in the effort to find them, and find what they wanna bite on. Takes a little finesse to get into them but once u figure them out! It is a blast!

Lake is pretty muddy right now. Caught a few pan fish up the Hay River. Lake keeps getting worse every year for the size of crappies.
