We have owned property on this lake since 1971. It used to have mostly ski boats on it but with the price of gas there are fewer than years past. I have never had any luck fishing on it however my uncle had pictures of some nice pike caught in the 50's but I have never seen one until last summer floating deader than a door nail. watch the public access as it is shallow and will damage your prop if you are not careful.
