There are good populations of largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, striped bass, catfish
and white bass. You can also catch northern pike and muskie, but they are much less
prevalent than the other species. Bass fishing tournaments have grown in popularity

tournament will see a big fish that pushed the 7 to 8 pound range.
