Fish species in Horseshoe Lake

Up in Marinette County, Horseshoe Lake is a lake with the current lake record giving us about 15 acres and a maximum depth of 40 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

I would rather get two useful clues than make twenty random stops with a little time spent on 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.

What anglers can target

The current fish list for Horseshoe Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which is enough for me to plan around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.

How I would spend the first few hours

Before I made the drive to Horseshoe Lake, I would fish a few sensible areas, remember where the life is, and stop forcing a pattern that is not there, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
