[#0000FF]The only times I have ever fished it are through the ice. The warm inflows are magnets to all species.
I know a couple of guys who have fished it during open water times. They claim to see tons of fish but the action is not red hot. However, they do catch cats and white bass...sometimes at mid depth over the deepest spots. The water that comes in at the bottom is higher in mineral concentrations and the fish tend to stay around the edges after it has mixed with the main lake water. But as soon as the lake gets cold in the late fall the fish start moving in and setting up housekeeping in the more desirable spots...usually at the edges of the perimeter dropoff over a flat ledge.
