midcoast, on what fish species did you do well on? i like fishing the lake but kind of go with the whatever bites mode. is the water clear enough to spear? woulg like to hit bowstring new years weekend.

The water is perty dark and the average pike is about 10", there's alot better lakes in the area to try to stick a slimer.

fishualik, thanks for the info. do you think a person could see in 7-8 ft of water? you can take 9 slimers out of there that would good for pickling. want to angle for whatever bites also. going over with 3-4 people.

just me again, any fish cooperating on the bow? in particular the north end.

[fishuhalik]

Yeah, you could prolly see down about 5-6 ft. If you wanna get a bunch I would think bowstring would be a good lake. I'd start on the south side of the lake by cow bay. Don't forget about the huge crappies in there, too. It's no secret. They can be tough to find, but it can be great once ya get on 'em!
