As a first timer in this lake the experience was good. Fish were biting and every bite was a keeper. Makes fishing great for younger kids.

April seems to be the best for quality fish. Didn’t find many schools, but large fish seem scattered all over the lake.

we got lucky and had a day where it was 70° but it tends to be cold lows in the 20s highs in the 40s so just be ready for those if you come in december. trolling is the game as the fish are very spread out but you still catch a ton

Warm summer months can be slow for bass but we were patient and followed instructions. Captain Nathan found fish and we caught several all morning.

It gets really hot in July, so I would recommend a morning trip over an afternoon trip… But with Captain Joe you’re gonna catch either way!

Make sure to check the weather! We had a 4 hour excursion planned, but had to cut it short because of heavy rain. We still caught our maximum allowed to keep in half the time, but the weather cut our 4 hour trip to 2.
