Lake has great potential. Unfortunately the Northern are starting to over run the lake. Way too many Northern that are between 20" and 26". They should take those out so the Largemouth can grow again. I've heard of one Walleye being caught in the last five years and it was pretty big. Used to have large Bass (21"-23"), but not so much anymore; They are still there, but harder to find.

Top notch carry on lake. Can wade, tube or rent the row-boat locked to the tree, or carry your own light weight rig down the steep hill. No motors and catch and release for game species. Trophy Bass and Northern but you have to bring your camera. Big Bluegill and Crappie on this tiny lake too. Good lake for solitude and fun in the area.
