Default Fawcett lake?

One of my all time favorite lakes used to be Fawcett. We used to catch many walleye and big perch from there. Also some huge pike, 20 lbs +. Haven't fished it in over 20 years though. Is it still a good fishing lake?

Same here, about the time my dad and I almost flipped the boat getting stuck on the other side of the lake when a massive storm hit crazy fast lol.

That lake has a beautiful campground, used to be great fishing too, not sure about now though.

The bios screwed it up like usual. There was a really strong couple year classes of walleye, as the fish grew they changed the limit from 43 to 50 to tags to “protect them”

Guess what, no more perch, bunch of scrawny stunted eyes that you can’t keep.

Used to catch plenty of walleye, and some big perch attacking spinners and jigs, was a great lake. Was.

What a shame, it used to be such a great lake. I loved fishing there. We used to hammer the walleyes right at dark around the island by the resort. Caught them through the ice n 3’ of water.
