Lake Julia

Portage County is home to Lake Julia, a mapped lake and the best numbers we have right now are about 13 acres and a maximum depth of 4 feet, which is enough to know whether you are dealing with a quick little water or a full-day lake.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by working the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.

The species on record

I cannot give you a trustworthy species list for Lake Julia from the current data; that may be less exciting, but it is a lot more useful than bad information, and without making the day more complicated than it needs to be.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Lake Julia, I would choose a few spots that look different from one another and give each one a fair chance, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
