This lake has always interested me. I've only passed through it, but never fished. The DNR survey caught no gamefish, but in the notes references a CCC survey that caught Northern Pike. It certianly has the depth and size to support a gamefish population.

I'd love to go there and spend a weekend fishing it to see if I could catch anything. Has anyone fished it?

Hi Speckled,

Yep, we fished it last spring for half a day. Nothing. Not a bite. My dad was able to snap these photos of a successful fishing effort while there...looks like an eater-size walleye!

Hard to tell - that might be a sucker.

You are probably right. The dorsal fin doesn't look like a walleye.

Haven't been there in over a decade but, we didn't have any luck there (we were just passing through).
I will say it's a well protected lake, as all the portages in/out are memorable. :)

It's surprising to me that throughout all of time, there was never a set of fish eggs that got stuck to the feathers of a loon or duck and transfered to the lake. Or maybe during a time of really high water found it's way up or down one of the inlets or outlets that connect to other lakes. Maybe over the course of a number of years an eagle accidentally drops a couple of walleye in there, creating a spawning pair. The lake seems suitable to support a population of fish once established.
