Used to fish it every year, but in the summer time, never in winter. Can be a good lake, decent walleye and pike, but lot's of rocks and shoals to watch for in summer and lot's of slush in winter.

We were there in September, only fished Hardiman Bay, lots of smaller walleye, some decent pike and jumbo perch. There are some smallies now in some of the bays, never targetted them. Jigs tipped with a minnow were all we used, going back next September. Largest eye we got was 2.5lbs, other guys in our camp got one 7.5.

Hitsnhuts,
Which camp are you staying at?
We've been up a couple times the past few years and stayed at Horwood Outpost, owned by Richard. (He runs fishing as well as hunting)He usually sets up a stand at the sportsmen show in Toronto every March I believe.
He had us back trolling a 1.5 to 2 oz bottom bouncer with 18" of lead followed by a pink floating jig head with a small minnow or leach and it seemed to work like magic for pretty much all of us.
We were generally going back and forth near islands in 25-30 ft of water.
