This is my favorite lake, not only is good for fishing but the scenery is great.
I have never come empty-handed there. I suggest to use the longest rod you can find, it will allow you to cast farther away than regular rods. On my experience, it does make a big difference in this lake.
My friends use the same bait/hook setup I have and they catch way less than me in about 5 visits. The only difference is the distance of the cast.
