The lake’s muskie population continues to hold its own.
Changes in the bass population is credited to the fact that the lake itself is changing.
And anecdotes shared by anglers point to even more good news on the bass front.

Fishing enthusiasts, from the worm-and-bobber crowd to those on the tournament circuit, have a field day when the water’s warm and the fish begin to feed actively.
