Have family property here since 69'. Excellent Panfish and Gamefish lake - never get skunked - many fish fry's. Wish they had stricter rules as people from other areas of WI come here to panfish and they harvest over limit. Much better fishing than shallow swamp neighbor beaver dam which has become a pool of green slime.

Took my 28 year old son out this past Saturday 9-29-18 at noon. It was cold and not many boats on the lake. First Island we pulled up on, I landed a 5 lb LMB. Three cast later, 2 lb LMB. THAT was it the rest of the day. The lake is still green slime from June. I guess the best time to fish FOX is on ICE or between April till early June. Still a good day all in all.
