Fished Friday (hot!), Saturday, and Sunday.  Just a bit each day, not all day long.  Friday was the best day surprisingly, caught several nice eyes over 20".  Sat. and Sun. saw a large variety of fish, crappie, perch, bass, and lots of northerns.  Most of the eyes Sat. and Sun. were between 13" and 15", nothing bigger.  Cranks and livebait were pretty much 50/50 for fish caught.  Nice outing, had been a long time since I had been there.  Lake is full and the campground/facilities are top, top notch!

Fished 11th-15th.  Only keeper walleye was caught casting a Rapala in little bayou next to boat launch.  White bass hit hard 7-9pm in same area.  Lots of Northerns back there too.  Caught little walleyes below spillway and trolling all over lake.  Also caught crappie and big perch while trolling.  Didn't fill the freezer but enough action with only two rods out to keep you interested.

I don't think anyone likes to share any of there knowledge on this lake...so I figured I would tell the little I know about it

The experiences I have had on this lake in the past is don't waste your time ice fishing, granted I am not saying you can't catch fish but the times I have went it's pure catfish!! Why... I don't have the answer maybe I was fishing the wrong spots

Although fishing the month of June can be great
Once the end of July rolls around I have struggled a bit
Not fishing the deep structure enough I'm guessing.

Hopefully this will get some people talking about there experiences or maybe even an argument
