Small Bass, mostly small Gills, few snake northern, few small Crappie. I wouldn't go out of my way to fish this lake. Come for the beautiful setting and awesome wilderness campground sites, not the fishing.

I camp here with my friends every year. I have been catching an average of 15 bass every time I fish. They range from 10-20 inches. Of course they have all been released to catch again! Hoping every summer to come back!!!

Nice quiet lake. Bass and Northern are abundant. Pan fish take some skill to find them.
