This is a decent little lake. I have fished it many times and can't recall getting skunked. Most of the fish are small to average size. You have to fish pretty hard to get bigger fish. I think the lake is best for taking kids for some action. Lot's of snakes, bass, and panfish., with a few walleyes and muskies.
