i can still smell the livers fishing that place 30 years ago in the hot august sun when there were trees all along the main lake and you werent allowed to bring live bait and no barbs. Felt like a rebel sneaking shiners in a thermos and fishing the opposite side hiding from the old guy in the tractor. I remember catching walleye and hybrids in there as well not sure how long they lasted.
