Haven't been there. Headed up Saturday morning. Any tips? East or West side? North or south? Still trying to boat my 1st fish, let alone see a follow this year. Thanks!

IMO West Rush has more/better structure, but I also think because of that it gets more pressure than East does for muskies. Because there is more obvious structure on the west side it might be better for a 1st timer on the lake. I haven't fished it in the last 2 years so I can't provide much of a report, but good luck.

Fished it last year. All i can say is find the weeds because there isn't a lot of them due to the clarity. Also, watch out for reefs out there. Good luck.

Lots of weeds on Rush. Water is turning green right now. Fish are still there to be caught though...
