My wife and I fished this lake from 7:00pm to dark using the typical crawler harness and artificials with absolutely no luck-didn't even get a bite. We were in fishing kayaks equipped with sonar and GPS none of which helped at all. We were in 16 to 18 feet of water just north of the weed line. It appears that all the fish, if there are any, have gone on vacation! No other fishermen were observed on the lake while we were there, a condition I was delighted with but it may also have indicated that there aren't many fish left in this lake. We'll try it at least one more time while in the area but I'm not holding my breath! Good luck if you try fishing this very shallow lake!

This lake was a musky hatchery in the 80s until some found a way out to a trout stream. That didn't go over well with the trout fisherman so the hatchery was closed. There are plenty of walleye and still some musky. The last huge musky I saw was years ago so I am not certain how many remain. The weedlines are where to fish for the walleye. 9-11 ft is a good depth.
