Little Simms Lake

Little Simms Lake is a Douglas County water listed as a lake with the current inventory showing about 13 acres and a maximum depth of 13 feet, so you can plan the trip around the water that is really there, not the lake you imagined.

What you are dealing with

For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with a simple look at the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and if nothing happens, the next move should change the kind of water, not just the scenery.

Fish tied to this lake

The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Little Simms Lake; so the first trip would at least account for weeds and easy cover for panfish, and find out which part of the species list is actually active that day.

How I would keep it simple

If I were headed to Little Simms Lake tomorrow, I would start with obvious fish-holding water and let actual bites tell me whether to stay or move, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
