as an add-on, Smoke Lake had some great walleye and pike fishing throughout the lake, an earlier poster mentioned it was shallow in the east end, in my early days of fishing fished thru the east end with a thing called a mepps combo killer, basically a spinner rig, ie a mepps spinner that had attached an arm inline with a jig body, akin to spinner rigs of today, we had no idea what we were doing but attached some big shiners we caught near the boat launch there and caught walleye after walleye in the eastern bay shallows trolling this rig, pretty sure without weights on it, years later went back and fished weed beds on the far shore from the launch and tossed rattling cranks into the weeds which were nailed, i say nailed by hungry walleyes and pike
