Fish in the current inventory
For Baker Lake, the current data does not support a confident species list; the lack of a fish list is a data gap, not an invitation to fill it with assumptions, and while still keeping the first trip pretty relaxed.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Baker Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would pull up the current Wisconsin fishing regulations before leaving home.
