This is a private lake and only property owners may fish it, but that makes it a great lake. It does not get over fished. I go out about 40 times a year and i will only get blanked maybe once, spending at least 2 hours at it. There are also touramnets on this lake, but again you must be a member. The best lake i have fished for a good time and to catch some fish.
