What's the fishing like on this lake? Can't seem to find any recent info. Looks like a good tournament.

All perch for the tourney, there are trout and pike in the lake as well though. The lake is up by Lewistown and as I heard the first time I did the tournament years ago is a big help to keeping the perch population down a little as they get stunted in there pretty easy

Your welcome. It's a nice little lake to fish, I'm guessing maybe 60 acres, I don't remember exactly off the top of my head, and was between 20 and 30 feet deep last time I fished it but they have done work on the dam a few years ago and I haven't fished it since that happened

Love this tournament.   Fished it 4 times with my son.  One time the winning weight for 100 perch was just over 25 lbs.  I plan to be there.

This was one of the favorite and best run derbies for years, and so glad it is back!  The folks putting it on are no strangers to what it takes to put on a GREAT event, so support them and go fish it!  Heck, the calcutta alone used to be worth the trip over!

It's an odd little duck, that lake. Cameras are almost mandatory, IMO.

If I\'m not fishing, I\'m probably thinking about fishing...And if I\'m thinking about fishing, I\'m probably not getting much else done so, I might as well go fishing...Yeah, I just said that!
