Advice and Tips
Virtually all fishing methods are productive. Fishing deep with salmon eggs, power bait or night crawlers is effective. Spin fishermen do well with the normal hardware such as Mepps and Panther Martins as well as a fly on a bubble.

Fly fishermen should try wooly buggers or nymph patterns on a sinking line. The normal baits fished with bright colored jigs work well for ice fishing.

Cave Lake is also home to a large population of crayfish. Easily caught from shore at night, they provide an opportunity for a delicious meal. Try using hot dogs or bacon with a flashlight and net.
