I have caught over 10, 4 pound smallmouth in this lake and I only fish there 2 weeks in a year. Everything works. Live bait, top water, spinnerbaits, soft plastics, swimbaits, you name it. There are also plenty of pike, walleye, perch, carp, rock bass, and trout. It is a very big lake with many many spots that produce fish. One of my favorite lakes.
First time here and was pleasantly surprised I could have spent all day there. Was able to find it on the map pretty easily and had parking. It’s a short walk in from the last lot and stick right on the trails and you’ll hit it. Lots of small blue gill, large mouth, small mouth, worms seem to be the best for just catching a bunch of blue gills and such but I’m sure there’s a monster ready to eat a top water in there
