The lake will probably not be stocked this week due to ice. The edges along the lake are open water suggesting the ice should melt and break up quickly especially with warm and windy weather forecasted. The lake should be ice free in one week. Ice fishing is unsafe. There is an ice fishing group on Facebook and Instagram that updates the ice fishing in this area. For recent updates on fishing, you can call the resort at 1-866-201-4194.

Fishing for yellow perch is your best bet while ice fishing. The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish.
