    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: This lake flat sux. Oh, and Jose, you and your woman should swim in the marina, cuz the docks are good for tanning!

    The "hud" might be going ok, but for those of us who don't want to chuck giant slabs of plastic with muskie rods all day are really suffering here. I catch a lot of fish at the night tourney's, which is a lot of fun, but they just don't eat worms or jigs right now. EVERY other lake is on fire, why o why do I wast my time here?????

    Tips: Go to ANY other lake if you don't like big baits.
