I've lived on this lake for 22 years. It has never had walleye as advertised. Musky were in there in the early 90's cause they were stocked in 1974 but they are now gone. This lake froze out about 1997 so the lake lost a lot of its big fish and genetics. Now a lot of small panfish, bass and pike. Every once and awhile you can hook into a nice largemouth. Good action but not what it used to be.
