    just cause no one wants to help, I’ll try… Lat and lon-wise I am just a little north and a lot east of that location. They typically heat up a little faster than us to the west in the Hayward area and thinking it is a few clicks south, I am thinking that you will be dealing with low 60’s for water temp if it a bigger deeper lake. Temps could be higher if it is dark and shallow.

    I have been fishing deep clear waters up here and last night on one of the big deeps, I had 53* for water temp. I had a friend who was fishing a mid-sized deep clear have 60*-61* in one of the bays… Hope that info helps a little…

    Yes sir. I was positive you knew of what I spoke. I’m heading there in 2 weeks. I fished in the dead of July last year and caught fish. I am hoping early June it will be on fire. Those are some dandies right there!

    Its about 1 mile S of hwy 48 & 2 miles East from Cumberland. Relatively small 200acre,deep 55’& clear. I havent been there yet this season to know whats happening,but it puts out some very nice largie’s with very good numbers. I have a seasonal site a couple miles from there & if my kids want to bass fish it would be our #1 pick of lakes in the area. This pick comes in above Long & Red Cedar,unless your possibly chasing smallies. Shallow sandy landing area,be cautious of cars coming around curve too fast as its right where the landing is.You should do well here. Good luck.
