Very under-rated Walleye lake in terms of numbers, not for trophy size fish. There is a reason its the fourth highest speared lake for number of walleyes in Wisconsin. They are in there. If you know the lake lots of fish 22" and down.

Great lake, been coming here to my cottage with family and friends since before I could walk. One of my favorite places in the world. Overall decent lake for fishing but it is overfished and their is always a lot of boaters creating annoying waves and wake. Great night fishing and ice fishing in the winter. best to come during the week when there is less vacationers to get best fishing results.

Fish the weed edges, and if you happen to see the guy with the Fast strike 115 motor with no hair and two boys in the boat follow him, he has all the hotspots figured out.
