I have spent 6 hrs on Broken bow. It is a deep lake. I caught Walleye, Crappie, Sand bass, spotted bass, and Large mouth bass all in the 6 hours I fished. I fished Crankbaits, rattle traps, and Spinner Baits. I found some Largies chasing shad in a creek and caught about 7-8 biggest one was 3 lbs lot of fun. and Yes the Lake is beautiful.
