Nighttime fishing is a wonderful activity at the lake. During the day the lake is never over-crowded. Evening anglers enjoy a great deal of elbow room when casting a line in the calm and peaceful waters. Perhaps most noteworthy, crappie, muskie, walleye and catfish are a favorite nighttime catch. With spectacularly clear skies overhead, fishing by starlight and moonlight is as peaceful and relaxing as it gets anywhere. Whether you're fishing from a boat or off the shoreline, you're certain to enjoy every second.
