Dallas Flowage

For this page, we are talking about Dallas Flowage, a reservoir in Barron County and the best current size-and-depth record is about 28 acres and a maximum depth of 9 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

The water at a glance

If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.

Species worth planning around

The fish data for Dallas Flowage includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds and easy cover for panfish and cooler, deeper water for trout, and stay flexible if the water tells me something else.

A practical first pass

If the goal were simply to get a feel for Dallas Flowage, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
