Summary
Best spots include the rocky points and coves around the island, especially the southern shoreline and nearby inlets. A boat ramp at Flat Lake provides access. Anglers target walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and lake trout. Spring and fall are best for walleye using jigs tipped with minnows or crankbaits; summer favors trolling deep-diving plugs for lake trout. Smallmouth bass hit soft plastics and spinnerbaits near rocky structures. Shore access is limited but possible around the island; boat access is ideal for reaching productive deeper waters and submerged structures.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
