My son and I camped and fished this site for his 9th birthday. We fished Saturday pm (2/25) and Sunday am (2/26). We caught 38 and harvested 18. Largest fish were a little over 19”, and full of eggs. Most were caught in 8’ - 10’ of water. We missed quite a few as well.  Landowner was fishing for crappie and caught a few on the brush piles she has marked.  Landowner is very nice and this is beautiful lake with lots of fish.

About 3 or 4 feet, the boat dock is out of the water. Still plenty of deep water - about 20 feet deep or more near the dam. The lower lake level made it easy to launch my two-man boat(the bank was not muddy and had a gradual slope) and also made bank fishing accessible for us when we got tired of fighting the wind.
