All the roads are closed to the lake due to the construction and the snow. The only road open is to the north end where it is very shallow. hope that helps.

I have been back since they opened the roads and the fishing has been hit and miss. The white bass and channel cats are pretty much the only consistant bite. Have caught a few nice crappies and some smaller walleyes.
