I lived on Pratt rd which is on the North side of this lake. It is private and no gas motors allowed much like Brian already said. Water is VERY clean and his (Brians) review is very accurate. After winter of 2007 I only caught 1 pike between spring and summer of 08. Plenty of bluegill and bass of all sizes from tiny all the way up to 22in...Yes I caught a 22in bass out of here summer of 07. Only a few deep spots and someone actually anchored a bouy near the deepest area. Crappie are in here too and they're nice size but no huge ones. Spinnerbait, baby 1 minus and crickhopper lures rule this lake. Never ever been skunked when I went out.

My mom has a house on the NW side of the lake and bass are plentiful along with bluegill and sunfish. Every time spring, summer, and fall I have never left with out catching a few bass ranging from 8-19". I have also caught a few pike. I mostly fish off the shore. I have never been disapointed fishing there.

Tons of bluegill and sunfish. Decent amount of bass, but hard to catch until late spring. Very few pike left after DNR accidentally stocked this lake instead of lake metamora a few years back. Private lake only, no launch, and no gas motors allowed.
