lake ovid
Moderator: Cyberlunge
Ovid is a fertile, shallow (very little deeper than 15'), flat impoundment of a tiny creek. It starts out the year with clear water (5'+ vis) and curly leaf pondweed growing over much of the lake. As the summer goes on the curly weeds die, the milfoil takes over, and the algae bloom becomes heavier until late summer when it is can reduce visibility to <1'. There is no one preferred way to catch a muskie in Ovid- there are a lot of fish and you will find them roaming the 'open water', stacked on the breakline, up in the weeds, and everywhere in between. Not trying to be vague but honestly you can just choose your weapon many times- pick whatever method you like, cast or troll, and you will have success.

Reportedly, they're easier to catch in Ovid than in some other places, but you couldn't prove it by me...
