The Nebraska State Game and Parks Commission lists the lake as containing: Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Musky, Northern Pike, Walleye, Wiper, and Yellow Perch. Anglers should note: There is an 18 inch minimum length limit on Walleye with only one Walleye over 25 inches allowed in bag. The daily bag limit is three on wipers, with no more than one fish over 18 inches.
The lake is excellent fishing with major concentration in two areas. The north half of the lake has good submerged structure that yields good bass and bluegill all year. The south half of the lake has a deep channel that yields excellent walleye and wipers when fished with down riggers and bottom bouncers. Many walleye anglers jig and drift along the points on either side of the lake, usually taking their limit using minnows or night crawlers. The early months of the year, northern and musky fishing seem to me in full swing. A number of anglers are catching these monsters as soon as the ice is out, making a fun and exciting time in some cold weather.
