Mike, what do you want to know about it? There is a state park with a golf course, picnicking and camping. There is a boat ramp and I believe it is motor free these days. There is lots of grass and a nice swim beach, but there are signs (at least there were up until last year, haven't been there this year), warning of swimmers itch. The fish are mostly small recent planters, with an occasional larger fish. Pretty place to visit but better places to drown a worm.

Kent-How do you fish it?

Fish it like any other lake with trout. The west side and by the dam (on south end) is the deepest.

i would never recommend that lake to any one that wants to fish it!!!!!!!!! there is a ranger named bird that is there all the time and he hate's fisherman!! and will give you a hard time first chance he get's!! [mad]

with that said the best way to fish it is from tube.. there are some nice tiger trout, rainbows and cutt's in there and the park is very nice as well.

jigging works best if you have some of the pond carp meat out of the lake to tip the jig.. if not shinner minnows and chub meat works good as well..

if you dont have a tube walk to the west side there is some big rocks and some deep water right there try some bait!! minnows, chub. or carp meat works best.. a spin-a-lure is allways worth a try as well.

We had a reunion there last year and I rented one of the paddle boats from the state park for the kids and we caught several 16 to 18" Rainbows trolling a wooley bugger. That was they only thing that caught fish. It's not exactly a wilderness experience but it was pretty fun.
