Muskie activity in the spring is highest in the downstream half of the lake. Largemouth bass are excellent at Sever and the area holds good numbers of fish between 18”-22.” The summer bite can be tough & for this reason keeps traffic low. Many excellent points exist for summer patterns as well as 45 degree banks with shaded cover. Standing timber and lay downs make for good targets.
