A boat trip around the nearly 20 miles of shoreline is a pleasure in itself, as beauty is everywhere you look. And the fishing is even better. Warm-water and cold-water species both thrive here giving fishing enthusiasts many options. Big fat crappie, giant walleye and plentiful bass and pike draw most of the attention during the summer season. Ice fishing for crappie, perch, walleye and pike can be very productive.
