shreve lake is the first lake i graduated to from farm ponds. 30 years ago, it was one of the best lakes around. the bluegills were huge. the crappies were scarce, but the ones you got were giants. a guy got one on a tip up that wouldn't fit through a 6 inch hole. always had good ice.
i haven't fished there in years, but i've heard that it's nothing like it used to be, due to a number of reasons which i won't go into here.
also in that neighborhood on rt. 3 is a good sized lake i've seen people fish on----round lake church camp comes to mind. i can't say it's public for sure, but the last time i was up that way when there was good ice, there was an awful lot of people ice fishing for a private lake. hope this helps.
