Honey Lake

If you are looking at Honey Lake, you are looking at a Bayfield County lake with the water profile currently listing about 10 acres and a maximum depth of 15 feet, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

Size, depth, and the lay of the lake

The first trip does not need a giant tackle plan and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

The fishery on paper

I am leaving the fish list for Honey Lake alone until there is better exact-water evidence; i would rather give you a short honest page than a long one full of guesses, and and use the first few bites to narrow things down.

My game plan

If I had a few hours to figure out Honey Lake, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
