Very low density of musky and no natural reproduction. Musky seem to top out in the 40-42" range if you can find them. Get's motor trolled very heavily. Smallmouth fishing has gone down hill with a lot of small sized fish. There is also no largemouth, pike or walleye in this lake as advertised. Another lake that has gone down hill.
