The lake has excellent water clarity, which makes fishing for the light sensitive walleye difficult during the daytime. The lake is infested with the non-native exotic Rusty crayfish. Famous Minnesota walleye angler Ron Schara listed the lake as one of his top 25 Walleye fishing lakes in the world.
