Fishing:
Iroquois Lake is a shallow weedy lake that is full of small (3 to 5 inch) sunfish that can provide constant fishing action for youths. If you are good at fishing bass lures around weeds, there are some nice bass that can be caught. There are also some large carp that can provide a lengthy battle at the end of your line. Make sure you use heavy line because of the dense weeds if you decide to target carp.
