Skunk is absolutely correct concerning Walleye at Big Swartswood, considered a lunker/trophy lake for Eyes....

Little Swartswood ironically has more to offer than Big Swartswood... Little Swarts has large and small mouth... Eyes, Tiger trout (hybrids), Tiger Musky, perch (white/yellow), cats, Pickeral, etc... I have fished both Big and Small Swartswood equally and I personally have had better success in little swartswood in the amount and quality of Largemouth Bass... In the past 2 years I have caught several largemouth Bass over 6lbs.... I have only caught a few smallies.. I seem to have better luck with smallies in Big Swartswood.... IMHO, Little Swartswood does not get nearly as much pressure as Big Swartswood does so I believe the quality and quantity produces better in Little Swartswood as far as Largemouth are concerned.. I have never tried for Eyes in LIttle Swarts but they are in there as well as the elusive Tiger Musky and Tiger Trout.....
