Hit and miss, can be great at times and terrible at others. Lots of boat traffic for the lakes size, weedy and murky water. However, many small bluegill and perch. Large crappies are great in winter and pike very common and are from 20 to 35 inches. Bass also are common, with bass being caught up to 22 inches in length. One big problem is carp, carp are overly common and wreck beds and cover for gamefish.
