Elkhorn Lake is a Walworth County water listed as a lake and the numbers attached to this water are about 29 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, and that gives you a simple feel for the lake before tackle choices even matter.

What you are dealing with

For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by checking the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.

Fish tied to this lake

The fish record for Elkhorn Lake needs better exact-water evidence; i would treat the fishery as unconfirmed until better exact-water information turns up, and without pretending the species list tells me exactly where the fish are.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Elkhorn Lake tomorrow, I would use the fish list and the lake's size as a guide, then let current conditions settle the details, then I would verify the latest bag, size, and season information before fishing.
