Cather Lake

Chippewa County is home to Cather Lake, a mapped lake and the basic lake data comes in at about 10 acres and a maximum depth of 21 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be and I would begin around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Cather Lake shows Largemouth Bass; and that gives me a simple starting point with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Cather Lake, I would start with a simple plan and only add complexity if the fish make me, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
