I fished it pre flood and back then people complained about it
.
The funny part is myself and my buddies actually caught lots of respectable pike 5-15lbs and the odd 5lbs+ brown and rainbows. This was consistently and can’t remember getting skunked. Actually met guys who did great for perch and burbot but I never figured them out
One thing I have learned over the years every time I hear about how a body or water is tough or no good you will also find the odd fishermen that has the place dialed in.
