This lake is full of weeds. Fortunately, it's also full of fish.

The access is just 1.9 miles from the Hwy 169 - Lawson St. intersection. It is well marked and has plenty of room for parking. There isn't a ramp per se, but I observed another fisherman launching his 15' aluminum boat from a trailer with no problem. No internal combustion engines are allowed. It's very peaceful and serene with houses on about 3/4 of the shoreline.

I came to fish for perch and caught three of them, all eight inches, in about three hours. I also caught at least 30 bluegills. I wasn't counting, releasing them as quickly as I pulled them in. I also pulled in a few small bass. I was using pieces of worm on three hooks 8" inches apart rigged dropshot style. The bottom hook was about twelve inches above a 1/2 oz. bell sinker.

I have a portable depth finder and found fish consistently in 14 feet of water which is just at the edge of the weeds. If you don't have one, you'll do just as well if you just watch for the weeds to taper off, moving a little further towards the center of the lake if necessary.

I was searching for a school of perch, but never picked up more than one in each spot I tried. After catching bluegill after bluegill, I'd move fifty yards or so down the lake. On my next trip, I'll bring some jigs which might appeal more to the perch and less to the bluegills. As it was, I spent about as much time baiting up as I did fishing.

This is the lake to try if you're looking for bluegills, especially if you've got a young angler with you. Bring lots of worms! I'm gonna continue to look for that school of perch. Good luck.
