Fished this lake years ago and there were alot of nice bass in it back then, But i guess in the last 5 years since i fished it, it froze out and the northerns have taken over. We caught 2 bass over the weekend and about 40 northerns from 12 to 15" Great action for kids but if your looking for bass this lake has changed.
