Fish species in Long Lake

Washburn County is home to Long Lake, a mapped lake and the current record puts it at about 3,478 acres and a maximum depth of 74 feet, which is the first thing I would want to know if a buddy asked me about this place.

A simple read on the lake

I would let the first few spots tell me what kind of day it is going to be with a short rotation through one manageable section of the lake instead of trying to cover the whole thing and I would take a couple of bites in one type of water over a dozen pretty spots with no life.

The species on record

For fishing, the current record for Long Lake shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, and Yellow Perch; which tells me to think about weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and points, breaks, and wind-pushed edges for walleye, and stick with what produces signs of life.

What I would do first

If I were putting together a simple plan for Long Lake, I would spend less time changing lures and more time noticing depth, cover, water color, and where bait is showing, then I would confirm the current rules before the first fish ever comes over the side.
