Have been there a few times caught a few straight off the boat ramp near the opposite shore.  You can catch some walleyes where the no wake zone ends on the roadway drop off.

Hearsay but my duck hunting  peeps used to only use an airboat  there and several areas stayed open during ice.

p302stang,

I also haven't fished it 12-15 years. Last time down there we had a boat out in late spring and did real good on the Crappies.Think I might try and learn the lake and talk to some people this year before heading out onto the ice this year.


Blue,

We purchased the lots ( 2 ) 20 years ago in a auction for $2,000.00 each Taxes are a couple hundred a year.I thought my dad sold them a few years ago but he still has one left.We are not on the lake but it's 3/4 acre heavily wooded lot.

my lot was given to me by my grandfather he bought it back in the early 80's not lake front with mine either partialy wooded crappy grade  would be alot of work to put a building on it. I paln on taking my boat out there this spring to check out the lake wish i could find someone with some fishing info on it though.
