great ice fishing i have a 35 inch northern on my wall...also i have a 24 inch walleye from the summer. there are smallmouth in the lake too. never seen a largemouth though. ive heard stories of big muskie but who knows if their true. average pike size is like 19 - 28 inches. i catch more pike than anything else. every once in a while you get a walleye all the ones ive caught have been 22 or 23 inches long and they were fat..i dont know why they are all this size

Lake is like a big frying pan...ave depth is correct but due to lack of snow/rain thru the years, there's less water now. Serious weeds have grown, closing up the fishable water. Perch are stunted, hit or miss on the other species present. "Skunk" Lake says it all. Much better action elsewhere.
