I caught blue gill. This time i go i will try to catch catfish so i will bring chicken liver. Bluegills can be caught on small hooks by nightcrawlers (worms).

Very nice place, i go there often. It is better to go with a boat and fish in the middle of the lake. Many bluegill. Have not caught anything in particular yet but defiantly has many good fish. Would recommend for daily fishermen.

Friend caught a decent size bass. Size requirement to keep fish are impossible, but thats the same for all other lakes. DNR are too strict. They take to fun out of fishing. Probably the reason why i don't like going much.
