Deerpoint
I have fished deerpoint since 1979. Back then the lake was healthy and produced a lot of great fishing. The May Fly hatch used to be massive but nearly non-existent today. The lake is no longer healthy because of the winter draw down. The micro organizations that help support the lake are being flushed into north bay.
