Fish species in Little Rock Lake

Vilas County is home to Little Rock Lake, a mapped lake with the latest inventory showing about 39 acres and a maximum depth of 10 feet, which helps keep the first trip simple instead of turning it into a giant guessing game.

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be by spending the early part of the day on shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Little Rock Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so I would spend the first serious effort on weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Little Rock Lake, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
