went once on early ice. caught one 15" rainbow, not much else but barometric pressure was really high and it was like 0 degrees out. Are you fishing for rainbow, perch or bluegill?

Gonna be mainly rainbow, going with a friend who knows the lake pretty well.  Will also be going after perch and maybe a few gills.

Fish the bay across from the boat launch an hout before dark and you can catch some nice gills, if you can find the perch in that lake they are huge. I've fished that lake religiously for a few years now and have never caught a perch. Can find some nice rainbows tho, just remember its a class B lake and can only keep 3 trout over 15". I see a lot of violators out there who keep a limit of 15"+ out there, can still keep 5 but other 2 have to be under 15"

My son is still in the hospital in Marquette, so I fished it last week, ended up with a 9.5" gill, a 10" perch and 3 throwback gills.  It was my first time fishing there though, so I wasn't too upset.

Made it out yesterday morning, we started out catching nothing but bass, right after sun up, moved to the far side of the lake, weren't even marking fish, so we went back to the original holes we had drilled, and caught 2 rainbow just before noon, one was 12, the other 14".  Good day to fish, even though the bite was quite slow.

We'll I went out for the afternoon, slow.  Ended up with 2 keeper gills, and I caught a few bass.  2 other groups out there, one got nothing and the other guy had one rainbow.

Anybody know what the parking lot looks like after all this snow?

Went there today. Parking lot is a mess, would need a BFT and even then might have a hard time. About foot and a half of snow and half foot slush, depending.
