Frahm Lake

This Douglas County water is Frahm Lake, a lake with the water profile currently listing about 83 acres; a dependable maximum depth is not in the current record, so you can get the scale of the place before you ever make a cast.

Start with the basics

I would make the first trip about learning the water, not conquering it and the first places I would give a fair shot are shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank before I let one slow spot convince me the whole lake is dead.

What you can fish for

At the moment, Frahm Lake does not have enough species data for a trustworthy fishing list; i would rather give you a short honest page than a long one full of guesses, and and then let the actual bites decide what comes next.

Keeping the first trip simple

If a buddy asked me how to start on Frahm Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
