decent action
We fished this yesterday. 2 keeper crappies, Few keeper pan fish and one perch. ( a good deal of small pan fish ) No northerns today but we usually always catch a few snakes. Air temp was around 75 and the water was pretty warm, but I had no way to test it. We fished strictly with night crawlers othe than a few dozen casts with artificial lures. The weeds are in full force there already so a good amount of snags. ( fishing time 3:30-5:30)

Quiet lake with mostly small sunfish and small northerns. The couple fish we decided to keep were full of the yellow grub parasite.. Had to hold every fillet up to a light to make sure parasite was picked out of them before cooking.

A peaceful lake with lots of fishing action and always natural wildlife sitings along the shore. Great for paddle boating too.
