Frog Lake

Frog Lake is a Iron County water listed as a lake and the useful numbers here are about 40 acres and a maximum depth of 45 feet, which is enough to know whether you are dealing with a quick little water or a full-day lake.

What you are dealing with

For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever by putting the first hour into 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.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Frog Lake; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid hauling gear for every fish in Wisconsin.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Frog Lake tomorrow, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then the only homework left is checking the current Wisconsin season, bag, and size rules.
