  1. Details: Submerged Weeds

    Just north of the ultra-shallow bay there is a transition to some deeper water and submerged weeds providing cover. The whole northern part of the lake has this ...more transitional weedline into much deeper waters. Several baitfish can be observed and many, many micro-sized bass and panfish can be caught in the daytime. Fishing this lake is best done at twilight or nighttime. Or during the spring spawn, as long as you release everything.

    Unfortunately due the drought years, of which we're still in the middle, this lake has become a giant bathtub, and has lost clarity. The little shoreline cover there was has either been removed and replaced by beaches and/or docks or rendered ineffective as the lake has lost so much water that what was once cover is now high and dry. Kind of a shame to lose this lake as a fishery, but it appears to be in its death throes.

    includes this year's Trout stocking ...more data.

  3. Out today mid morning with two other guys chasing some trout. Took a couple minutes to get on the active school, but once we were on them, had steady action for ...more the next 45-60 Minutes until we had our limit.

    Switched to bass, caught a couple (12-18") plus some bonus pike 24" and 32" throwing plastics.

    Active trout were about 3-5 feet down, but over much deeper water. Still plenty of small schools in the very shallow water. We used waxies on icefishing jigs, but the guy fishing next to us was catching them on minnows.

  4. Out yesterday from 9:30-Noon. Caught a mixed bag of brownies and rainbows, as well as a few gills.

    Lots of small schools of trout swimming around, but the fish ...more that were biting were running the drop offs.

    Gold ice fishing jigs tipped with live bait was the best option.

    Pulled out and headed to Okauchee for the afternoon.

      New Landing is in and open. Made it out today for a bit, caught 8 LM 13-18" and missed a huge pike right by the boat.

      The ramp is nice, if a bit narrow. ...more No issues getting in or out with my 169 Princecraft, even with the water as low as it is.

      Great to be back on the lake.
