The best fishing option appears to be Northern Pike which were caught in high numbers. While average size wasn't that amazing (21.2"), the higher numbers as well as 15% of the fish measuring over 30" could offer some excitement. Largemouth Bass samples suggest that they could offer anglers an opportunity to catch some fish. Bass up to 15.3" were sampled.
