Pistakee Lake info

[ajhallfr]

I'm looking to try a new lake out, and pistakee seems like it's the winner. I'm curious about lake access. It seems a lot of people go out from oak park. Is there a fee to park here (if so about how much), and is there any other access? Also, I'm not going to ask for anyone's secret spot, but is there perhaps a certain depth of water I should be looking for? I don't much care what I catch, I'm just looking to have a good time.

Thanks for any info

It's either 3 or 5 bucks. It's been a while since I've been there.
Keep searching depths. I've had some good luck in the 6ft range for gills but it can change in an instant.

When you walk out onto the ice from Pak Park go to your right and walk down about 5 houses. You will find 20+fow. try there.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. If I were to show up to Oak Park before they open is it acceptable to pay when you get off the ice? I know certain areas have certain etiquette and I don't want to do something I'm not supposed to.

Sure is

It's pretty much the honor system there.  They don't have anyone out checking (at least that I've ever seen).  I've went in with some guys after and had lunch, then when I told them I needed to pay to park also, they said just keep it.  The only downside is that it is not very big so on the weekends it can fill up kinda fast.
