As of this past weekend the lake was completely free of ice and the boat ramp was open. Fishing was good using Rapalas, jerk baits, spoons and deceivers for 25 to 37-inch tiger muskies. On Sunday, Mick Kitchen and Justin Irwin caught and released 40 tiger muskies measuring from 30 to 37 inches. They were using 4-inch chrome and black Rapalas. We had no reports on other species. Anglers should be aware that it is illegal to use bait fish at this lake.
