    Where's all the other species that are there like,Pike,Lake Trout,Striper,White Bass,Channel Cat,etc...... Lg/Sm Mouth Bass are easy to catch,they're a reaction striker,they'll hit anything that moves whether they're hungry or not so not so interested in them.Only thing easier to catch than a Bass is Sunnies and Bluegills. Why leave out the all the tougher fish??? This page knows nothing about the lake from what answers there is to pick from....
