I was trolling a 5 inch rapala behind a canoe there once and a 7.5 lb. whitefish took the hook. Also caught quite a few small walleyes and a couple good sized eyes last year. Supposedly some bigger pike and some perch too. Never caught any of them.

Camp and fish while camping there all the time, you will have fun catching lots of small walleyes. Some big whitefish in there and a few nice pike. If i remember right, 20 to 25 ft was the deepest I have seen on the fish finder.

Bring Bug spray! The last time I was there the mozzy's were awful.

You might give Speckle55 a PM as I can't think of anyone who would have more time on that lake than him.

The last time we were there it took us a bit to find good numbers of walleye. We would catch a few here and there but nothing consistant until we started fishing in THREE feet of water then it was non stop action. One last thing. I don't recall many spots to beach/dock your boat for the night if that matters to you.

Yes to the bug spray !!!

On the lake it has some big Hen Pike if you can catch them

also has some very nice lake Whitefish

there are lots of Walleye ..but you can't keep any

and some perch as well

the North American Record for Ice fishing Pike is from there in 2006 it is 33#2oz ..Gerald T has that

and mine was from 1985 to 2006 32#5oz Ice fishing

here is some Walleye on Fly Rod last year and my Pike picture is in my album on here just hit speckle55 to access the album
