Fish species in Lake Laura

Down in Forest County, Lake Laura is a lake with a published profile of about 106 acres and a maximum depth of 22 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

The smart first move here is to keep the day manageable by making an honest pass along shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would only make a big move if those places truly look empty.

Species already connected to this water

Fish recorded for Lake Laura include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.

The first trip does not need to be fancy

If I only had one day to learn Lake Laura, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
