Duck Lake sits in Barron County and is listed as a lake with a published profile of about 109 acres and a maximum depth of 26 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

On a first visit, I would make a short list of places to try by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.
Fish you may run into
The current inventory lists Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Walleye, and Yellow Perch for Duck Lake; so I would keep the tackle centered on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and make the first hour useful instead of random.
How I would break it down
If I wanted to learn Duck Lake without overdoing it, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
