Fish in the current inventory
For Little Trade Lake, the fish list currently includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch; so I would make room in the tackle box for weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and avoid turning a simple trip into a gear-hauling contest.
A no-nonsense way to start
If I were taking a friend to Little Trade Lake, I would give the easy-to-read cover and depth changes a fair shot before trying anything fancy, then I would check the latest Wisconsin regulation details before the day starts.
