We stayed at Bucksaw and fished nearby in the spring. We hammered the crappie although I am sure the bite has changed. There is a LOT of timber in that area. If you have a good GPS and lake map on it, you should not have a problem. If you don't, buy a paper map and go slow. Bucksaw has nice enough rooms and a diner on the dock. Bait, ice and slips as well. You would not have to leave the resort but you will need a car to drive from the lodge or cabins to the ramp.
