Hicks Lake

Hicks Lake belongs to Bayfield County and is listed as a lake and the useful numbers here are about 7 acres and a maximum depth of 9 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

Before you start fishing

I would spend more time watching the water than changing baits by putting the first hour into the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.

The fish list

I would not plan around one specific fish at Hicks Lake from the current record alone; until the exact-water record improves, i would keep the trip general instead of pretending one target is guaranteed, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.

What I would try before anything fancy

If this were my day on Hicks Lake, I would make every move change one big thing, like depth or cover, instead of just driving to another pretty spot, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
