Johnson and Beach Lake

Marinette County is home to Johnson and Beach Lake, a mapped lake with the available record putting it at about 14 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, so you can decide whether to fish it slow or break the day into a few different areas.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be with most of my time going to the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and that is usually enough to tell you whether to stay shallow or start looking farther out.

The species on record

I cannot give you a trustworthy species list for Johnson and Beach Lake from the current data; i would not let a statewide species list stand in for actual evidence from this water, and and keep everything else in reserve until i need it.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Johnson and Beach Lake, I would make the day about finding one repeatable clue instead of collecting waypoints, and I would read the current Wisconsin rules once before the trip so there are no surprises.
