Fish species in Brandt Lake

Brandt Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Iron County and the useful numbers here are about 11 acres and a maximum depth of 27 feet, so there is no need to dress the lake up with a bunch of made-up detail.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would keep whatever works instead of changing it just because the next spot looks different.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Brandt Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the day practical and easy to change.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Brandt Lake, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, then I would make one last stop at the Wisconsin DNR rules before calling the trip ready.
