Fish species in Long Lake

You will find Long Lake in Burnett County, where it is classified as a lake and the best numbers we have right now are about 48 acres and a maximum depth of 14 feet, and those numbers are a useful reality check before you start making a fishing plan.

I would avoid overthinking this one right out of the gate by working shoreline cover, weed edges, and the first clean drop away from the bank and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

What is actually listed here

At Long Lake, the current fish record includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; and I would begin by covering weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and stick with what produces signs of life.

My first-day plan

If I were starting from scratch on Long Lake, I would keep the tackle simple, pick a manageable section, and let the first signs of fish decide the next move, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
