Frosties Bait & Tackle is a long-standing store near Deer Creek State Park and beach, the closest one in the area. The store is much larger inside than it looks, and it is very well lit, neat, and clean. It offers a great variety of fishing tackle, bait, lures, and lines, plus some hunting things and camping equipment. The business also has a bit of everything else, including a fresh food restaurant and takeout, drinks, ice cream, and a gas station for cars and boats. Staff are always friendly, helpful, and provide awesome customer service. While some prices are a little steep, they are understandable given the lack of competitors nearby. It is a popular spot with plenty of parking.
They have a wide selection of Johnson's ice cream, which c h is my favorite. Try the black raspberry chocolate chunk. You will be contented with one scoop, two will make you happy!

Only option close to Deer Creek - didn't disappoint. Fair selection of alcohol and necessities. I don't fish, but it looked like everything you could ever need for fishing. Delightful surprise in a wonderful selection of hand-dipped ice cream. Everything fairly priced.

Been going here since I was a young man. Great place to go no matter what time of year it is.
