The lake use to be awesome for bass but since it froze out three times Northern have taken over and even though their have been some stocking of bass it will be years before it comes back to being the bass lake it use to be . We have been on the lake for 15 years.

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.
