Yep I knew that

It was 80% suckers.

I've fished this lake the last 10+ yrs and I have to think that is BS. Only caught a few suckers there, I wonder who does creel counts on some of these water's, whoever it is should be fired.

Talk to Bill at the resort and see what he has to say about the issue. He knows more about that lake than anyone. He should he lives it.

Um... the D.O.W puts gill nets out every summer and when they catch 80% suckers year after year surely they have to do something. Personally I seen tons of them sight fishing there through the ice in the past and I spend way less time there than you do.

Ice was about 14"+,  couple of vehicles went out on the ice and headed south about 3pm.  Action was non stop on stockers, 6" to 13". and caught 1 brooder about 5 lbs.

Tough I would post about the lake since it has been awhile since anyone else has. Well went out to the lake and gave it a shot. I have never done good there in years past but wanted to try it since they have killed it and re stocked it. The ice was 17 inch's and wow first 30 seconds in had one it was a stock er but still. As the day went on kept gitting tons of stokers and then a few good sized ones in between and the action was nonstop! Towards the end of the day my Buddy nailed a 25 inch 3.5 pound rainbow! Best that lake has ever been since I have gone there as long as it keeps it up should be an awesome spot in the years to come!
