      Actually I've fished at the istokpoga park too they have a gorgeous dock that you can fish some lily pads at the end of it. It's worth going even if you ...more don't catch anything.

      Only place I know of from land is at the canals on the east / southeast side of the lake. When I visit I have a hard time finding places to fish without renting ...more a boat. Trails end fishing resort is who I rent from to get on this lake.

      I've been looking and have not seen any bass betting. The locals aren't sure that they have started to bed yet either.
    5. Mike Burns 0
