Fish species in Lily Lake

Lily Lake is a lake on the Lincoln County map and the current record puts it at about 42 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, which gives you a much better starting point than trying to read too much into a satellite view.

I would not try to turn the first trip into a science project and I would make sure I actually fish shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

The current species list

Right now, the inventory connects Lily Lake with Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.

How I would learn the lake

Going into a first day on Lily Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
