    Hi basinfisher. Ifish chicot alot. Its a hard lake to learn, but I have caught a few at times. Yoyos are the big things here now but I still prefer to catch them on my jig pole. The bite is real slow now but good at night.

    basinfisher - Beware buddy!
    At certain times of year you can set yo-yo's at night there, but please read your regulations. If it's like in the past, they are very strict there and often times I have seen (I think every time!) the game wardens patrolling. You have to tag the yo-yo's with all kinds of info including the time you set them. We used to have to stay with them too, but I think that has changed and now you can leave them until the morning. I really don't know if you can pole fish there at night. One problem with that is getting out the gate. I usually launch at the East landing, and it closes not long after dark. I guess if you were camping there that wouldn't be a problem.
