Cast your line and catch prize winning fish like large month bass, landlocked salmon, northern pike, white perch or pickerel from the dock. Loons are just off the dock fishing also. Official season begins May 1 and runs through late fall. Good Luck I have caught hundreds of game fish from this dock. Pictures are hung on living room wall. One of them is a ell, 5.78 lbs, 41 inches long, a record, caught off the end of the dock.
