Fish species in Little Gillett Lake

Little Gillett Lake is one of the lakes mapped in Oconto County with published numbers of about 14 acres and a maximum depth of 25 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

I would start with a few obvious areas and make the lake prove I need more and I would make sure I actually fish the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before changing five things at once and losing track of what actually mattered.

Fish to think about

The water-specific species list for Little Gillett Lake includes 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 stay flexible if the water tells me something else.

Where I would put my time

For the opening trip to Little Gillett Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
