      Report: First time on the lake. No ish, not even a bite. Talked to a ew locals, no luck or them either. One guy remarked that the water temp was 54 last weekend (Feb 12), so that big drop in temp is probably the reason or the lock up. It was windy!!! The lake looks awesome though, we'll be back.

      Tips: Wait or the water to warm and the weather to stable out a little. Or just go... beats staying at home thinking you should be ishing.
