This lake is shallow on the public access side. Good luck if you don't have a boat. My friend got there at 5:00 a.m and left at 11:20 a.m with an empty hand. I was lucky to have one trout. It's not a ...

You have to get up early in the morning to catch fish at Wilderness Lake. Not because the fish bite in the morning, but rather, because you will not find space on the lake from which to fish after 8am...

Tried every lure in the book at Wilderness without any results. Weather was fine, so I decided to put on a little powerbait and a sinker, and enjoy the sun. After about half an hour I noticed the slig...

When I first got out to the lake at 6:00pm it was very cloudy and it was looking like it was going to drench me. I decide what the heck and tied my black bugger on. About two minutes after I got into ...

Started fishing at about 5:30 am on a beautiful sunny 75 degree day. Not much action on the surface as trout seemed to be staying deep due to the ospreys circling above. I fished a wet fly line with...

I learned how to fish on this lake many years ago with my dad and brother so it has been a while, but it sure brought back some memories. The lake is being taken over by milfoil which was kind of sad...
