This lake typically gets a bad rap for being filled with small fish, but used to be an outstanding bass lake. Find healthy, isolated milfoil patches and there will be better quality fish (up to 3.5lbs) schooled together, often 6-10 fish per patch, especially if there are bluegills schooled above or on the edges of the foil. Once the lake association sprays for milfoil, this bite will disappear quickly.
