Fish species in Derosier Lake

Derosier Lake is a named lake in Washburn County and the useful numbers here are about 106 acres and a maximum depth of 11 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would keep the first trip pretty simple with a little time spent on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

Recorded fish species

On the species side, Derosier Lake currently has Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch on record; so I would build the first part of the day around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.

My basic approach

If we were fishing Derosier Lake together, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
