Anglers will also find amazing walleye fishing within sight of camp. Windy points and shorelines are great places to catch your limit of walleye in minutes. South Lake is a walleye fisherman’s dream body of water,known for sprawling rock reefs and deep holes. Average depth is 32′ with areas of the lake reaching 75+’ deep.
