I have been fishing this lake since I was about 5 years old. This lake is underated for northern and musky. They seem to like it up stream in the old river bed. Walleye are present but they seem to like it under the bridge. Bluegills are everywhere but they can be caught alot by Harmond Island.

The lake is very good in fishing. It is currently illegal to swim due to heavy trash in areas such as the boat landing located by R&R shooters
