Launch is on the east side of the lake, off Hwy. 169. I've dumped my 14' boat in there a number of times. It's a narrow, mucky launch, but doable. The fish I caught were small to middle sized spiny rays-- bass, bluegill(sunfish), and crappies. Plastic worms and jigs thrown around the weedbeds worked for me. It's a peat bottom lake, and the water isn't very clear. Supposedly, there's some large cutthroat and catfish in the lake, but I've never connected with any of them.
