I've never fished there, but my dad has tons of times and always loves fishing there, he catches at least 5-10 a trip.

I went there for a tournament last august or September. Got a 2.5lb smallie and a 2.5lb largie. It was a really tough day. A VERY TOUGH DAY...me not knowing the lake I finished 10 out of like 40 boats...winning bag was 5 smallies for 15 pounds. This was on a very tough day lol. on a good day there are multiple bags that are 15-20lbs. winner is usually around 21 22. This spring was crazy. The largies were about the spawn and the smallies were prespawn. People I knew had days where they caught 50 fish and most were 2-4lbs. This lake is crystal clear, you can see down 30feet. Its deep, 210ft at its deepest. Its just loaded with pig smallies and largies. Its definitally worth taking the trip.

In my opinion it is the 2nd best lake in the state. The best is the Wanaque Res - if you can get permission to fish there.
