Early in the year, fish where the rivers come into the lake. Another good spot is near the Ring Rock Narrows during the summer. Geis said the lake gets a fair amount of fishing pressure, but there have been some walleyes near 30 inches long. Walleye stocking by the DNR was discontinued in 1984. Northern also grow very large because of the high population of ciscos for the northerns to eat.
Smallmouth bass are present and do receive some angling pressure.
The lake is also good for crappies. Most of the crappie fishing is done in the winter.
