Put Welsh on your list as well, you can idle and catch a lot of fish, do not need to run it. If you see someone that turns right (south) you can likely follow them not many run that lake unless they know where they are running. Do not follow anyone to the left (north) no upside to running that way.

Do not follow anyone to the left (north) no upside to running that way. Is that still an active power plant lake or is the plant shutdown?
