Be ready for any weather! The lake can get rather windy and choppy, so be ready to get wet and cold unless you bring appropriate outerwear and gloves. It’s never too cold to fish — unless you get wet.

Go with a well reviewed guide and fish and fosh earlier to mid season. Fall and winter create conditions that make it a bit more difficult but nit impossible.
