General comments: Stunning lake with many features. The weather was very changable caught all our fish after the rain had stopped when they started showing again.
To have the food package was the best decision i made.
The quality of the bait available to purchase is also excellent and dan is very happy to share his knowlwdge of the lake to help improve your catch. We both broke our pb's and rob broke his by 21 lbs!
