One thing missing from the Lake details is that this lake has a LOT of Muskie's in it. Over the last 20 years it seems the fishing in general has gotten tougher while the numbers of big muskies seen and caught is increasing.
Largemouth fishing is still average to above average although the number of big fish seems sparse. Pike fishing is also average, but not a lot of big pike. Smallmouth and walleye fishing is below average. Muskie fishing is great.
