Ice fished this lake for the first time w/ a few of my brothers that attend UWSP. They told me that we would catch fish and we did. Four of us had 26, 32, and 31 flags in the three days. Also did very well jigging for walleye and crappie. This lake has the healthiest fish I have seen in a long time. Had an absolute blast and will be coming back.
