Lake Lime

Among the waters in Portage County, Lake Lime is listed as a lake with the available water data listing about 45 acres and a maximum depth of 29 feet, so at least you are starting with real numbers instead of guessing from a map.

A plain-English look at the water

My first day here would stay uncomplicated by putting the first hour into 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.

What the fish list tells you

The exact-water list for Lake Lime includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and that makes me think first about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and see what actually shows up before changing directions.

Where I would start

If I had never seen Lake Lime before, I would keep the first hour organized enough that a bite actually teaches me something, and I would make sure the current Wisconsin fishing regulations do not add a special rule for this water.
