Squ1rr31 is right. Its a private lake for local association members. I spoke with the head of the association last year and he said you could purchase a membership for around $300. Maybe a little more. My father-in-law is an association member but doesnt usually fish. When i visit he is supposed to be with me to fish or the guy will try to run you out. The fishing can be pretty good for crappies. Theres a lot of catfish in their too. A lot of 11-12 inch crappies if your in the right spot. I usually take my ice gear with me to christmas when we visit except for last year and it looks like this year too there wont be enough ice.
