Not much pressure, extreemly deep lake, be careful of springs, very clear 20 plus feet of being able to see lures and bait, may have a lot of slush on right now.Talk to bait shops before going out.
Do you know where the access is? If so no need to post it
By foot covering lots of ground is a lot of work. The South end of the lake has a nice bay that you can tip up fish with the creek coming in gives it an inviting place. As for conditions I typically stay off the lake until mid Jan but the water is down about 1.5 feet so there is lots of missing water and a little more walking to hit deeper depths.
