Fish species in Bailey Lake

Bailey Lake sits in Barron County and is listed as a lake and the best numbers we have right now are about 37 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

The useful basics

On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and once one type of water shows life, I would look for more of the same.

Fish you may run into

The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch for Bailey Lake; and I would begin by covering weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid chasing a totally different kind of fishing without a reason.

How I would break it down

If I wanted to learn Bailey Lake without overdoing it, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
