The lake is popular with fishers, jet-skiers, and water skiers in the summer, and with snow-machiners and ice fishers in the winter. There is excellent fishing all year for stocked species: rainbow trout, king and silver salmon, grayling and arctic char. Fishing during the open water months is best from a boat. Ice fishing huts are available for rent, usually between November and April. Rent an ice fishing hut
