You can yes but the Lake has been pretty much decimated. I lived there from 86-2001, the reason why we left was cause the town nearly burned down in 1998, then nearly burned down in 2000 then in 2003, 2005, 2008 and then finally last year it did burn. The lake was wiped out from a combination of water bombers all using it to fill up and from over fishing. By wiped out I mean that its not like it used to be where you could catch a 2' pike every other cast whether you wanted it or not and a bunch of walleye, its just sparsely populated now. Your best bet would be off 9 mile point it would be worth it because thats where it drops off into deep water.

Its always worth going fishing. There are plenty of fish in the lake you just have to find them. im betting they are shallow. They were really shallow in spring approximately 13 feet.
