Boat landing is ok road goin in is a little rugged small lake most of it 12 ft deep, was musky fishin it oct 19 couple of good weed beds dont think it will hold large fish for type of lake due to depth and size. Says no northern in it but i caught one in the mid 20s hit a sucker.

The boat landing road is poorly marked and in terrible shape. No walleyes were marked or located on scant underwater structure and shorelines were unproductive for muskie or bass. Local fishermen were unhelpful and incoherent. Try High or Fishtrap for better fishing and easier access!

This is a very shallow lake with no structure. There is a small amount of walleye present but they are very tough to catch in this lake. This is mainly a bass and panfish type of lake. There are good numbers of bass but they are stunted and don't get much bigger than 12"
