This lake is about to be completely destroyed. After the draw down to fix the damn the next the generation of fish were lost. You can catch good sized fish but, its only a year away from being fished out with nothing on deck to replace this years keepers. It should truly have a ZERO bag limits for pan fish and walleye.

Great lake for Jumbo Perch, I was out last week and caught five giant perch in a few hours. Not a lot of constant biting but it is worth the wait between fish when you catch one.

Fishing is not great on its best day. The people that fish this lake sure think they know everything and are easily embarrassed.
