=Fish Populations:=
 +
A fisheries survey conducted in the summer of 1982 recorded six species: largemouth bass, brown bullhead, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, golden shiner and bluegill. <br>
 +
Stocked trout are also present during at least a portion of the year. <br>
 +
This lake also receives broodstock salmon when they are available. <br>

=Fishing:=
 +
Annual spring stockings of trout, usually rainbows, provide most of the fishing action at this pond. <br>
 +
As a result, fishing pressure is high throughout the spring and trout stocks are depleted by early summer. <br>
 +
The warm water fish species generally cannot provide fast action because production is low and most of it is taken incidentally by trout anglers. <br>
 +
Jigging for perch through the ice is somewhat productive, however, although the fish are not of large average size. <br>
 +
We have reports that nice bass are occasionally taken through the ice as well. <br>
