This lake is filled with nothing but small pike. Perch population is gone, walleye population is gone and the ones you do catch are under 12". Don't waste your time, nothing but skiing and jet skiing at all times of the day. If you want to go for a swim or a boat ride this is place, but the fishing is terrible.
