Have a lot of great memories on this flowage. Have fished it for over 35years with our annual Labor day weekend trip with my Mother, who loved to fish and especially for Muskies, always being one of the highlights of the year. One of our best days fishing was 9-1-98 when I lost a 56" Musky, so my guide told me , and my Mother boated a 47/12" Musky at around 8:30 pm on a crystal clear night with the light of the Moon on the water casting a topwater bait off of Pete's Bar. I also fished for years out of Indian Trail resort , staying in the bunk house, and always caught walleyes and big Crappies especially in the spring and fall. This flowage truly offers great fishing combined with a wilderness Canadian lake feel. If you have never fished this body of water do so soon you won't regret it! Tight Lines and Good Luck.

Been up here for a week.. Fished muskies today, didn?t see any action on an assortment of lures from top waters to bucktails. Walleyes were good the past week. Had most luck with them in water around 10 feet with water temps around 58 degrees. The water warmed up today but expect it to cool off with a front and cooler weather tomorrow. Jig and minnows work wonders.
