We have club tournies there

The only ramp I know of now is the town ramp which offers no parking. The launch is good...but you have to park on one of the side streets afterwards. That can get difficult with a trailer. It's a pretty good bass lake that I have had good days...and bad days there. There's lots of thngs to flip....wood...docks....and bridge pilings. I did well there last year with lipless crankbaits and jigs. We have our tourney this year in the summer so the water should be nice and dirty. You can run your big motor on it but there is a speed restriction...which I see many people ignore. I like the lake....despite the parking limitations it is doable. Good luck....Mark
 
I went by there yesterday

Most of the ice is gone....some thin ice still at the end by the ramp....it will be 100% clear by the weekend. Time to go crankin'!!!!
 
No HP restrictions....but maybe a speed restriction

I seem to remember a speed limit on the lake. I ran my 90hp with no problem but I didn't go very fast....it isn't that big anyway. The Lake Survey book is ok, but outdated. There is a new ramp/parking area on the upper part of the lake. I haven't used it yet but it looks good. I don't have a club tournament there until September so I won't be on it for a while but there is alot of crap in PL to flip. Good luck....Mark
