Possessed of a homier feeling than its nearby neighbor, smaller Heart is boat-for-boat and angler-for-angler just as crowded, but no less rewarding than larger Erie Lake. There is more shore access here and its shore side fishers do almost as well as those in stationary boats. Dont be surprised if a few tiny bluegill nibble at your bait, their presence prompted the ending of young rainbow fry plants.
Season: Last Saturday in April to Oct. 31.
Angler amenities: Excellent shore fishing access at park ramp. Anglers often sit along the county road on the lakes east shore or pioneer into park woods surrounding lake.
