Fish species in Birch Lake

Birch Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Marinette County with the current lake record giving us about 17 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more with a little time spent on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started digging through the tackle box for a magic answer.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Birch Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds and easy cover for panfish and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and save the extra tackle until there is a reason to use it.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Birch Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
