Keego Lake

Keego Lake is a lake in Vilas County with the current inventory showing about 23 acres and a maximum depth of 18 feet, which is enough information to keep the first trip grounded and realistic.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the water itself will tell you more than a long list of generic fishing tips.

What swims here

Species already recorded for Keego Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first trip would at least account for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and remember that a species list does not tell you exactly where the fish are.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on Keego Lake, I would rather learn one shoreline, bay, point, or break than spend the whole day running around, and I would check the current regulations because a lake page and a regulation book do two different jobs.
