History
Dream
Bob "Ringo" was an avid fisherman and lifelong outdoors man. It was a lifetime dream to have a place to fish when he retired. He wanted to establish a premier fishery where anglers could catch quality fish.
Build
20 years ago the quest became a reality with the puchase of the property. It was at that point the hard work and labor of love began. Bit by bit and with a tremendous amount of blood, sweat and tears; the property was transformed from a blank canvas to a fishing property where stories are told and memories are made.
Enjoy
Families and friends have come back again and again for countless fishing excersions, gatherings and fish fries. A truely enjoyable fishing trip awaits where nature is the star of the show.

Fishing
There are three fishing boats included in your rental. A 24 foot pontoon boat with a 30hp Johnson outboard and Minnkota trolling motor with depth finder to accomdate up to eight. We also have a 16 foot state of the art Alumacraft boat with a 40 hp Mercury outboard, 24v Minnkota Ulterra auto deploy trolling motor with i-pilot and Hummingbird Series 9 depth finder. We also have a small Jon boat with trolling motor and dephth finder which is great for the young adults. The boats are fully furnished life jackets and boat cushions. If you need fishing gear; we have that available.
The lake is managed to be a a premier fishery and features bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass. More recently some walleye have been stocked. They have done very well and walleye up to 4.5 pounds have been caught. Because we are a catch and release lake with limited fishing pressure; our bass population has numerous fish in the 3.5 to 6.5 pound class.
