Walleyes very sparse. Muskies hard to catch. Much better lakes close to or in area.

I love the fact that this lake has very little boat traffic, making fishing a joy! Smallies over 18" are typical and what fighters!

Tough lake. Boat ramp on a curve. No real parking. Some boat traffic. Lake blooms mid summer. Fishing quality is fair, due to sparse vegitation. However, the musky in this lake exceed 48". They are suspended more than most lakes. Good girth size, healthy fish, and feed mostly on perch. Good chance a a trophy if you find yourself on this body of water on a cloudy day.
