No tigers, that program ended in Oct 1991. Campau has planted Northern strain barred muskies in it. Some are getting big! Nice size bass, and I personally know of 2 big walleye caught there. I have no idea how they got in there?? I must agree the power boaters there are pretty inconsiderate, but it is a small lake. Undercover officers do frequent the lake but it only helps a little bit. If your planning on fishing during the late spring or summer youll be ran off by like 11-11:30 am.

Not much of a fishing. The lake itself is not big enough for all the speedboats. Yet, there on it like it's Lake Michigan. Too hard of a lake to fish. Although we did catch 2 very large bass.

Probably the most inconsiderate bunch of assholes I've ever seen in my life. No fish in four hours, although it was super hot. 100 foot rule does not exist, and my medium heavy rod almost became a bat to knock the shit out of a guy driving a 21' checkmate 20 feet away from my 15' bass boat. Saw a wakeboarder almost killed by a jet ski, and a skier almost hit our boat and then told us to get out of the way. Needs policed. IF I go back, I will leave in a cop car afer whpping someones ass.

yeah they have just as much of a right to be out there as we do, you are right. the problem is that the fisherman arent inconsiderate asswipes. anytime im out fishing i have to deal with these dumb dicks in their speed boats, if they keep the 100 foot rule, no problems, but seems like they dont know what 100 feet is. its just irritating to have someone ruin your fun because they just have to use the same part of the lake you are at, you want to be on with a speed boat, fine, just give us some room, and NO, we dont like your huge wake, its not GNARLY, its gay. knock that Sh1t off.

we had a good time on the lake. we got early enough that we didnt have to deal with the speedboat assholes. they always suck. grab a musky lure, tie it on, and toss it into their boat. see if they are still having fun. we have caught some nice bass out of this mug. hear that there are tiger musky and nice pike in here. get out and fish it up. yes there is a public launch. i believe its connected to kettle lake also. somewhere around 68th st and whitneyville rd
