What kind of fish inhabit the waters? I know there's walley buy I've heard about cats. Anyone know? I'm going out today with my boat... hoping for some luck!

We've caught perch and trout. I don't know if there are catfish or not.

My buddy got one yellowish looking bass but it got off. Everyone else but us had some great luck - I want a pontoon with a motor mount so I can explore it more, I think I'm gonna sell my fish hunter. Awesome body of water worth looking into some more.

How big are the perch?

I am surprised about the bass. I don't know that they have ever been officially stocked in there. But then too they don't list perch either.

Catfish were stocked in there back in the 80s. I just don't know if they got established or not.

All I have ever heard of being caught in there is walleye, trout, and perch that is just as far as I know anyway. It has been at least 6 years since I have been over there so who knows. I don't remember much about the perch. At the time we weren't specifically targeting them. I would have to guess average size of 7 to 8 inches.

Hopefully some one who has fished it more recently will give some information.

I have spent some time fishing and scuba diving there and there are perch shiners trout and walleye. there use to be suckers carp along with catfish way back when but they drew it down and then killed it to get all of the trash fish out.
That has been many moons ago, I have also never heard of bass but i know there was a rumor a few years ago they were thinking of it and crappie.
