Fairly clear lake, great boat access and parking. Most fish in this lake are near the Beaver dam. North side of lake is VERY shallow and weeds are a problem. South shoreline is the most productive having a greater depth and structure. Honestly, I usually catch more from shore than in a boat. Lots of Pike and bass make it a fun lake to fish. My buddy caught a 23 inch bass and I landed a 31 inch northern so there are big fish in the lake. For me it's a once a year lake. If you're close fish it, but not worth driving to.

Stunted panfish including gills, perch and crappie. Night time you can catch several small 3-4 inch crappies. Bass in here are average. There aren't that many but there are some decent size to catch. Caught a few 17 inch lmb. Fun to fish the pads and laydowns. fairly clear water overall.

I have fished this lake a few times, most of the fish are stunted, ecspecially the perch, if you can find a spot, you can get a few nice crappies, more predator fish are needed however to get rid of some of the small panfish.
