There are largemouth in it. The tough part is trying to get a boat in there. If you have a kayak or raft or something to paddle around might be worth doing. Since its not local for me I havent been back.

No boat but I have a float tube. Where is the boat access.

 Neilsen Road, I havent been there in about 4 years. When I went the "launch" was a dirt trench that led to a 3' deep mud puddle that after about 200 yards connected to the lake.

Simple answer, Larrick:  Yes!  It is worth the effort.

Just check out the regs before you go. I know half of the lake is considered a wildlife refuge, dont know if you can fish in that area.

All lakes are worth it, usually the shittier the ramp the better the lake!  Another tip is if you have never heard anything about a lake then it is probably well worth trying out the fish will be less pressured, and easier to catch.  If you do catch any big ones from a small lake it is best to tell people that it is a different lake in the same general area this keeps you sweet spot less pressured. This is what the smart guys do, their is nothing worse then going to your secret little lake and finding 4 other boats hacking away at the water especially if the lake is only a few hundred surface acres!

What's even better, Ron, is finding 6 post on wafish in a week about your favorite little honey hole. Tuna.

i do have a sweet private lake that this old man allows me to fish. I've fished it on and off for years now. I've got my PB LMB & SMB from his lake. I'm definately keeping my mouth closed about that one.
