The lake is stocked with trophy bass, crappie, catfish and perch. And, it has been owner-designated as “catch and release” for a number of decades, providing both great numbers, but also great size to each of the species on-site. There have been many days in which anglers have caught upward of 75 to 100 fish in a day. The lake bank is surrounded by towering cottonwoods and other deciduous trees that help to create a wind block which gives rise to what many have referred to as “Calm Water Lake”. The undergrowth cascades down the banks and into the water creating great structure for the fish.

If you see this set-up during the daytime, your mind immediately begins to contemplate cooking an evening steak over the crackling fire, while watching one of those legendary Kansas sunsets and waiting for the stars show up in the dark sky that is unobstructed by city light pollution. The handmade, wooden lounge chairs surround the firepit and invite a social evening.The cabin resides near the center of the 1 mile by 1 mile square section of land, away from any roads and except for an occasional train going by, the silence is only broken by the sound of the wind on the Kansas prairie.
