This lake is perfect. Weeds, logs, tons of cover, and 100% accessible and public. I grew up at this lake and absolutely love this lake. I come here weekly to try and get lucky with the biggest fish reported (7.3 pound) Largemouth Bass or the (14 pound) northern pike that lurk in the lake. Bow fishing in this lake is also very convenient. There are a lot of BIG carp maybe 15 pounds, and including white suckers to bowfish. For starters, this lake is a great spot to start fishing. There are lots and lots of big fish here. I prefer topwater or jigs, or wacky worms. I guarantee 100% you’ll get a fish every time you go.
Went out to this lake for the first time, caught 3 largemouth bass, 1 northern, and about 15-20 sunfish. The action was nonstop for about 4-5 hours rod time, probably less because we were out in a canoe with high winds and had to put down our rods to paddle back across the lake before drift/fishing back across again. There’s one fishing pier available but no boat launch, only a dirt path that leads into the water for small water crafts like kayaks and canoes. Max depth is 8 feet, so not very deep at all and I wasn’t expecting such a good turnout. Had an amazing experience her and I’ll definitely be back!
