This review is a little late, because I fished LSG in May 2018. I'm seeing some claim the fishing isn't very good anymore and I wanted to give my experience. The ice was covering the water 9 days earlier. The water temps were in the 50's.
The fishing in the southern portion of the lake was outstanding. We mainly used bass jerkbaits and spinnerbaits. In the 3 days of fishing, here are our results. We boat 1 35" muskie, although we weren't targeting them, smallmouth up to 3.5#'s, largemouth up to 3.25#'s, many pike up to 26", and several walleyes up to 18". The fishing was great for the time of year and the water temperature.
I would definitely recommend fishing this lake.

Witnessed a MAJOR fish kill a few years ago. Dead fish every few feet across the entire south bay and most other bays. Hundreds of thousands of fish - DEAD. DNR said residue from pine trees stuck to fish gills and killed them. Believe it or not I think it helped the remaining (stunted) panfish to grow maybe due to less competition for food. Gills are getting better as are crappie. Milfoil is getting thick in areas. I've been fishing LSG for 30+ years and always avoid fishing on calm nights. Good lake if you want to catch something. Please release the large male gills and crappie! We need to keep the good fish genetics in the lake until it fully recovers!

Just fished this lake for 1 week in South Bay Caught 2 small pike, a nice bass, 2 small crappies. Weather kept us off the lake for the most part of the week. Bites were few but aggressive. Fish were found in the healthy weeds. Musky Mepps retrieved above the weeds works!

My famly has property on this lake starting in the 60's . Now that I have taking over the property and maintaining etc the fishing is getting worse. Can some one tell me what is being planted in he lake each year? Whats the latest on reproduction. As past review stated is exactly right. When lake was over sprayed in the low 80's it has never been close when it comes to catching fish. Fishing is terrible unless you want to catch 7 inch crappies.

Fished LSG one week in summer. Bays protect you from the wind, never rough. I focused on crappie/bluegill. Caught 250-300 crappie but not a single one over 10" (only kept enough for one meal). Almost as many bluegill caught with only one legit keeper. Also lots of perch. The panfish weren't tiny, so it was still fun, but a few bigger ones mixed in would have helped alot. Loved the resort (Estrold), loved the area.

I've been fishing this lake everyday for the last five weeks and I've always caught fish. Right now the crappies are spawning on the shores, and bigger game fish are in the shallows during noon times. Have caught quite a few of Northern and Bass.

Great lake to catch a fish fry! Size of Crappies is an issue. I agree that there should be some sort of limit to get some bigger ones in here. Bass have been more prevalent each year. A lot of small Northern.

Great family lake with small bass and small crappie. If you are looking to catch enough panfish for a fish fry it will take a lot of 7 inch crappie to get that done. This lake needs a 10" size on its crappies and a daily bag limit of 15. It has potential if people would stop harvesting all the crappie. Bass fishing is good but there is no size.

Fish this lake the first week in June every year, always do fantastic on panfish and northerns. Eyes have been tough the last couple of years, even used a guide for the first time after coming here for15 years with no additional success . Average size of Gills seems to be improving of late, great place to catch a nice mess of fish. Try tight to the reeds in spring for crappies.jgill1954

This was great in the 60's and early 70's. Natural producer at that time until the DNR started netting fish for eggs. They also overdosed the lake with week killer in the 80's and killed over one million fish on a Labor Day weekend. Sad but true. The lake has a large number of northern pike which are undersize. Walleye run small now. Has a lot of small muskies; some big ones are taken occasionally. If you venture to fish it, West Bay is your best bet on a cloudy day.
