Great little pond for people with smaller boats, as the ramp isn't great, and I recommend having 4 wheel drive. It's loaded with Largemouth, both numbers and fatties, if you can find them....? Smallmouth are in here and then tend to be on the bigger side but numbers aren't as good as Largies. Good numbers of walleye with a bigger one here and there; they use the deeper grass in much the same areas the Smallies use. At certain times of the year, you'll find Largies, Smallies, and Walleye in the same areas. Only reason I left this review is because you should ignore the reviews saying it's fished out... bs.
