Anyone know the status of this lake as far as disease goes?
Bonus: Anyone catching anything decent for pike out of here? I've heard mixed reviews. Any tips for this lake would be awesome.
Thanks folks!

I fish it a couple of days every spring for the last couple years. Out of the 60 or so pike I have caught, I have only seen 3 with the disease, and nothing that I would call too serious.
It is a fun lake. Just be extra careful handling the fish---for the sake of the fish. Abrasions and cuts make the fish more susceptible to infection.
