There is limited shoreline development with 13 homes or cabins on the lake. Walleyes are present in average numbers. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said 1994 was a good year for walleyes and there are some of appreciable size. Walleye growth rates are above average, possibly because they are the main predator species present.
Fishing pressure is low, also helping the walleye population.
There is little aquatic vegetation, which has led to low northern pike numbers and low numbers of sunfish, the DNR said. Crappies are present but not many anglers fish for them. Along with walleyes, yellow perch had a strong year class in 1994 because of the warm spring. The lake receives low dissolved oxygen levels in some winters and that has led to an abundance of black bullheads.
