I love this lake. I have fished it for over 30 years and it still produces large fish, a true hidden gem in mpls. Bring a kayak to get on it. Largemouth are in shallow water eating baitfish. Slow moving shallow crankbaits proove effective as well as tubes and worms off grassy ledges.

Fished this lake on 7/21/22 in the morning. Focused on docks and weedline in 3-8ft of water. The outside edge of lilly pads was also good. Caught 8 bass, broke off on one good one. Pike bit me off twice.
