Great small town lake; only half of it has fish able banks for pond hoppers but the fishing pressure is incredibly high and visitors very frequently litter all over the western peninsula. Roughly 10 clearings around the peninsula for clear casting and the eastern half of the lake, which is only accessible by vessel, has much more fruitful fishing due to far less pressure. Through out the entire year, the lake sustains a high amount of vegetation and that dictates a lot of lure selection. The lake also is home to many-a natural lay downs which make for a lot of nice structure for game fish. Paths are well maintained. Rowing and electric motors only.
Great place for kayak fishing there is only 4 spots at most to fish from the bank and ill be honest…They suck from personal experiences 😂 there is a boat ramp to launch whatever but when kayaking do be cautious of the boats….🙄 in the summer they get a little out of control and the lake becomes unfishable cause of all the weeds they kick up. Trout are stocked in the spring and fall, FYI it is a grass lake thats all ill say there is very few rock and wood mostly docks and weeds. If your on a boat u must go counter clockwise. Good luck out there my friends and ill see you on the water 💪🏽💪🏽
