hire a guide if you can. The lake is to big to figure out on your own. East side stained water west side clear. Crappies and walleyes on floating bogs which need a special technique to fish. The only pattern I found last year was Largemoth bass in shallow weeds and pads using a hedon moss boss topwater weedless brown scale with chartruse tail. Worked for 3 days till cold front came in and drove fish out of the shallows. Lake was down at least 3 feet last year so everything might change this year. Everyone always say lure color for musky is black with green blades, and i've been told by some resort owners to downsize to mepps musky killer sizes. i also learned a trick about crappie in the fall, use ice jigs with maggots when their schooling. Hope this helps as I have never realy slayed the fish on the big chip but the scenry is the best. Norm Gilmoure
