Beautifull lake with huge shoals. Has shiners in it though, so blackwaters are present. Some really big fish to be found. I am not sure what the ice situation is. I understand Jacko just iced off so maybe by next weekend you will be OK. Check the regs I am not sure if it is a May 1 lake or not.
Marquart on the other side of the valley and is a bit lower. It is know for good early season action. Might be worth looking up in case Courtney is slow or solid.
