Fish and Baits

On this 52.4-acre water, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

How to Read the Water

While learning this small, open lake in Rolette County, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While working this small, open lake in Rolette County, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

When fishing this small, open lake in Rolette County, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

While learning this small, open lake in Rolette County, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
