"It was my first time here,, but won't be my last. It's so beautiful here,,breathtaking scenery, it's so secluded. The lake is humungous, from what the guys there was telling me,, it's forty acres an that's just the lake.. so if you really want to get out an next to mother nature,,, this is the place to go.. I will be going back to try to get one or two of the winter stocking of trout that started today.. I didn't catch anything today,, but I'm going to try again tomorrow."

"Over all clean place, nice area to walk or fish. First time there and caught 10 bass 2 chain pickerel. One thing that sucks is if you fish from the banks the boat guys (90%) are A-holes. Hole lake to fish and they will go right where you are with no common curiosity to other anglers."
