Yes, I have fished it many times in the winter and summer. My dad's friend used to live on the lake but they moved about a year ago. Anyway... in the summer it is an extremely hard lake to fish due to the water clarity. The water is VERY clear.. almost like higgins. If you want to go after walleye during the open water periods i would suggest using planers cause the water is so clear. This will get your baits out to the side and away from the boat. Through the ice I did really well on Northerns, bluegills, and crappies. The best bet for bluegill is fishing in less that 10 feet of water at first ice. Then later in the midwinter you have to do some searching in the deeper water. If you want crappie your best bet would be after dark. Me and my dad's friends son always used to ice fish for them after dark and caught some real hogs. We had a bunch that were 14 to 15 inches, no joke. Small russian hooks tipped with minnows under a bobber worked the best. Ok.. enough blabbing on.. lol. Hope this helps.
