We stayed at a rental cabin, fished from a dock and some from pontoon boat. We caught many good size panfish, a few perch, pike 19" to 28", a walleye, and a bullhead. Local owner tells us that years ago the residents weren't managing the lake well but over the past couple of years fishing has greatly improved.

There were very very few fish. I fished from 8am until 9pm and caught nothing but a small panfish. I suggest that you don't waste your time with this lake.

I have fished this lake a few times. Too many small fish, nothing of any size. Don't bother with this lake, a better lake would be Corner Lake or Round lake. These are much better lakes to fish.
