This lake is amazing! I?ve been fishing this lake for 20 years and can?t find one better. It?s almost funny to see the posts about only little fish. If you don?t know this lake, you?ll have trouble catching fish. You need to take the time, but once you do, it?s rewarding. Excellent fishing!

Lake is loaded with undersized walleyes that bite just about anything you throw in the water...can produce nice crappies if your timing is right and you are flexible in your presentation. Its a fun lake to fish because its not too big, not overly crowded. The down side is that the lake has no public access.
