I hate to rate Chain lake with a 1, it's been a great little lake. But Sunday afternoon I got caught in that hail/thunder/rain storm. I was as far from the 'launch' as I could get, and the only option was to push my pontoon boat into the weeds and wait it out. There were two other craft coming off the lake as I put in, with 1 cuthroat for 5 people. I was able to cast to some small rises, with no luck, and kicked around the entire lake before I gave up.
