Features

Boats must be driven with caution near any shallow water. Large boulders are scattered on reefs and in shoreline zones, and many are just below the surface. The state of Iowa has permitted private parties to install docks and piers with the agreement that they may be used by the public. Shore anglers using these docks are reminded to act as guests Recreational boat traffic heavy during summer days.

Forage

Primarily spottail shiner. Bullhead, yellow bass, perch and bluegill also comprise considerable portions of walleye and muskie diets. Juvenile rough fish are also utilized. The food supply for predators is substantial.

Seasonal Movements

Almost all species use the west end of the lake between Clausen’s Cove and McIntosh Bar for spawning. This spring movement appears to be triggered more by the amount of current flow from the inlet than by specific water temperatures. The northwest stretch of shoreline known as “Black Rushes” draws spawning walleye and crappie.
