Super tough lake, don't go out expecting a lot of big fish. I got this one during a fairly windy day, fishing the edges of submerged vegetation. Since houghton lake is a fairly dirty lake, the conditions lined up perfectly for this. Just slow roll it along with occasional pauses, and there's a good chance of a bronzeback biting!

Fishing topwater during the mayfly hatch. 8-10" of water. Area we fished had a ton of mayfly molts on the surface and they were keyed in. A few largemouth as well.
