This is without a doubt a trophy lake. That being said it is also one of the most difficult lakes to fish. The lake is crystal clear, so use natural colored baits no need for bright colors as you would use in a stained water lake, also has BIG boat traffic issues. My advice fish early morning, sunrise to 10am, and 7pm to dark during the summer along with Sunday's when motors are not allowed on lake. This lake holds huge muskies 50+in and walleyes 10+lbs. I know what I am talking about since I live less than 2 miles away and have fished this lake for over 20 years. Spring is also great for panfish on a flyrod in the shallows in May. Definitely a lake that will produce exceptional fish if you are willing to put in the time. Good luck!
