Of the game fish government surveys recorded in this lake, lake trout, lake whitefish and yellow perch are open at least part of the winter under the zone-wide rules.

Ice huts in Zone 15

Huts must be registered (free, once) and show the number outside; fabric shelters under 7 m² are exempt. Remove your hut by March 31, and in any case before the ice breaks up. You may fish with two lines through the ice in most waters, within 60 m and in sight of each.
